In the diagram above MN is a chord of a circle KMN centre O and radius 10cm. If < MON = 140°, find, to the nearest cm, the length of the chord MN.

A.

10cm

B.

19cm

C.

17cm

D.

12cm

Correct Answer: 19cm

Explanation

Find the diagram Sin 70° x = 10 Sin 70° = 9.3969 Hence, length of chord MN = 2x = 2 × 9.3969 = 18.79 = 19cm (nearest cm)
