Best way to solve this would be to draw the circle. You know the centre is (0,6) And the length of a chord is given as 16.

Now since the circle is symmetric about the Y-axis, half the length of the chord would be 8. Now complete the right triangle,

6,8 and 10 are pythagoras triplets. The radius would be 10 and the area 100Pi

Please refer to the attachment, which has the diagram for shankar's explanation!

My 2 cents

Let O be the centre of the circle(0,6)
let D be the origin (0,0)

Using the property 'The line segment drawn from the centre to the midpoint of the chord is perpendicular to the chord', We know that if BD=DC=8 then Angle ODC = 90 degrees.

Implies, ODC = 90 degrees, OD=6 units, DC = 8units.6,8 and 10 are pythagoras triplets. The radius would be 10 and the area 100Pi
