In a circle, $AB$ and $CD$ are two chords such that $AB = 10\text{ cm}$ and $CD = 24\text{ cm}$, and they are parallel to each other on opposite sides of the centre. If the distance between them is $17\text{ cm}$, find the radius of the circle.

Options:

• A: 13 cm
• B: 10 cm
• C: 15 cm
• D: 12 cm
