Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation:
Length of chord = \(2r \times \sin(\frac{\theta}{2})\)
= \( 2 \times \sqrt{3} \times \sin(\frac{60}{2})\)
= \(2 \times \sqrt{3} \times \frac{1}{2}\)
= \(\sqrt{3}\) cm.
Length of chord = \(2r \times \sin(\frac{\theta}{2})\)
= \( 2 \times \sqrt{3} \times \sin(\frac{60}{2})\)
= \(2 \times \sqrt{3} \times \frac{1}{2}\)
= \(\sqrt{3}\) cm.
