Length of Chord in Circle

In circle O, the radius is 10 centimeters. A chord AB is drawn such that the distance from the center O to the chord AB is 6 centimeters. What is the length of the chord AB?

Use the formula $$ L = 2 \sqrt{r^2 - d^2} $$ where:

• $$ L $$ is the length of the chord,
• $$ r $$ is the radius of the circle,
• $$ d $$ is the distance from the center of the circle to the chord.
