isn't it five sq root of ___?

|dw:1332391407456:dw| The answer is 5 times square root of 2. I'll draw a diagram that will show the results of two theorems: A segment through the center of a circle that is perpendicular to a chord bisects the chord. (the perpendicular part comes from distance from a point to a segment being perpendicular distance unless otherwise stated) and the 45-45-90 theorem.
