. Jenny draws a circle with a radius of 16 cm. What is the length of the longest chord in the circle?
we barely talked about chords, but i am thinking that since 16 is the radius, which is half of the diameter, then the longest chord would be 32 cm or 16 cm

do u need an explanation?

anonymous · Answer

yes because a chord could be like |dw:1332685269722:dw||dw:1332685286178:dw|
so it could be like anywhere, and the longest one is the diameter which is across the entire thing! I got it!
