A circular park has radius 30 m30\,\text{m}. Two straight footpaths are built across the park as chords. (i) One path is 48 m48\,\text{m} long. Calculate its perpendicular distance from the centre of the park. (ii) The second path is at a perpendicular distance of 18 m18\,\text{m} from the centre. Determine the length of this path. (iii) Which path is longer and by how many metres?
