To find the length of the chord, we can use the formula:

Length of chord = 2 × √(Radius² - Distance²)

Given:

Radius = Diameter/2 = 26cm/2 = 13cm
Distance = 5cm (distance from center to chord)

Substitute the values:

Length of chord = 2 × √(13² - 5²)
= 2 × √(169 - 25)
= 2 × √144
= 2 × 12
= 24cm

So, the length of the chord is 24cm.
