Answer:
The chords FG and HK are 4 cm away from the center of the circle.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's call the distance from the center of the circle to each chord "d".
The formula for the distance from the center of a circle to a chord is given by:
d = (sqrt(R^2 - L^2)) / 2
where R is the radius of the circle, and L is the length of the chord.
So, for chord FG and HK, we have:
d = (sqrt(R^2 - 6^2)) / 2
d = (sqrt(100 - 36)) / 2
d = (sqrt(64)) / 2
d = 8 / 2
d = 4
