Answer:
The distance from each chord to the centre = 40 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
From Circle theorem, the line drawn from the centre of a circle to a chord perpendicularly bisect it. Therefore, a right angled triangle is formed,
[tex] {85}^{2} = {x}^{2} + {75}^{2} [/tex]
[tex] {x }^{2} = {85}^{2} - {75}^{2} = 1600 [/tex]
The distance from each chord to the centre = 40 inches
