So,
OT – 28 cm
= 36.8781... cm – 28 cm
= 8.8781... cm
So, the hook is about 8.9 cm above the mirror.
I know that the centre of the circle lies along the perpendicular bisector of a chord. So, when two different
perpendicular bisectors are drawn, the centre of the circle is the point where they intersect.
