A line from the center of the curve to the midpoint of the chord is 8ft. If h=half of the chord length then
10^2=h^2+8^2, or
h=sqrt(10^2-8^2)
= 6
the chord length is 2*h or 12ft.
Hello,
Can you please tell me I have the right answer?
Thank You
my answer: 12 ft.
The radius of curvature is 10ft and the height of the segment is 2ft. What is the length of the chord?
