A circle of radius 17m measured 8m from the centre of the circle to the chord. Calculate the length of the chord?

Step 1: The arc length $s$ of a circle is given by
$s = r \theta$
where $r$ is the radius in cm and $\theta$ is the central angle in radians.

Step 2: Given $s = 17$ cm and $\theta = 5$ radians, solve for $r$:
$r = \frac{s}{\theta}$

Step 3: Substitute the values:
$r = \frac{17 cm}{5}$

Step 4: Simplify:
$r = \frac{17}{5} cm = 3.4 cm$

3.4 cm
