Help with math?
If anyone could be kind enough to explain this to me i would be much obliged.
AB is a chord of a circle and is 8cm long.
The centre, O, is 6cm from the mid-point of AB.
Calculate the length of the diameter of the circle.

Is there anyway you could use a diagram to show the lengths you know which might help you find relevant info

Let the midpoint be M, so AM=4 and MO=6. Clearly angle AMO is a right angle. Thus by Pythagoras, AO=sqrt(16+36)=2sqrt(13). Thus the radius is 2root13, so the diameter is 4root13.

Lamo. Just make a triangle and use the formula A^2+B^2=C^2, that'll be your radius*2=diameter (this step tends to get allot easier when you have a diagram infront of you). The final step is to get high on potnuse.
