Step-by-step solution

2 steps
  1. Determine the length of AD.

    D is the midpoint of the chord AB.
    Given AB=300AB = 300 mm.

    AD=AB2=3002=150 mmAD = \frac{AB}{2} = \frac{300}{2} = 150 \text{ mm}
  2. Identify the relationship between the center, radius, and given lengths.

    Let O be the center of the circle and rr be its radius.
    Since D is the midpoint of chord AB and DC⊥ABDC \perp AB, the line segment DC passes through the center O.
    C is a point on the circle, so OC is a radius, OC=rOC = r.
    The distance from the center O to the chord AB is OD.
    From the diagram, C
