Two circles each of radius 5 units, lie i perpendicular planes. they intersect in two points x and y thus determining a common chord XY. If XY = 8, compute the distance between the centers of the circle

Respuesta :

The distance between the centers of the circle is [tex]3\sqrt{2}[/tex] units.

It is required to find the distance between the centers of the circle.

What is circle?

A circle is a closed two-dimensional figure in which the set of all the points in the plane is equidistant from a given point called “centre”. The perimeter around the circle is known as the circumference.

Given:

Radius =5 units

XY = 8

According to given question we have

XY=

[tex]\sqrt{3^{2}+3^{2} } \\\\=\sqrt{18} \\\\=\sqrt{9.2} \\\\=3\sqrt{2}[/tex]

Therefore, the distance between the centers of the circle is [tex]3\sqrt{2}[/tex] units.
