Length of the chord $= 5.55$ $=5.55$

Explanation:

A chord that goes from $\frac{5 π}{6}$ $(5pi)/6$ to $\frac{5 π}{4}$ $(5pi)/4$
so it travels the distance $\frac{5 π}{4} - \frac{5 π}{6} = \frac{5 π}{12}$ $(5pi)/4-(5pi)/6=(5pi)/12$ ;
or
$\frac{5 π}{12} \div 2 π = \frac{5}{24}$ $(5pi)/12-:2pi=5/24$ of the Circumference of the Circle
Area of the Circle $= π r^{2} = 18 π$ $=pir^2=18pi$
or
$r^{2} = 18$ $r^2=18$
or
$r = \sqrt{18}$ $r=sqrt18$
or
$r = 4.24$ $r=4.24$
Circumference of the circle $= 2 π r = 2 (π) (4.24) = 26.66$ $=2pir=2(pi)(4.24)=26.66$
Therefore Length of the chord $= 26.66 \times \frac{5}{24} = 5.55$ $=26.66times5/24=5.55$
