In a circle of radius 5 cm, AB and CD are two parallel chords of length 8 cm and 6 cm respectively. If they lie on opposite sides of the center, find the distance between them.
A1 cm
B7 cm
C14 cm
D2 cm
✓ Correct Answer: B — 7 cm
Dist from center to AB = sqrt(5^2 - 4^2) = 3. Dist from center to CD = sqrt(5^2 - 3^2) = 4. Total distance = 3 + 4 = 7 cm.
