One thing right out of the box is that the circles are congruent because the radii are congruent.
And, segment PQ ≅ segment RS because their arcs are given to be congruent. ( arc PQ ≅ arc RS) In the same circle or in congruent circles, congruent arcs have congruent chords.
@stupidinmath What are you seeing as being true based on the information?
and that is by Arc-chord equal theorem right?
To the best of my understanding as to what the Arc-Chord theorem says, yes. Does it mean this: In the same circle or in congruent circles, congruent arcs have congruent chords.
Also, these arcs in red (see attachment) are congruent.
Every chord has two arcs, a major arc and a minor arc. If the chord passes through the center of the circle and is a diameter, then the major arc and the minor arc have equal measures because the arcs are semi-circles.
Hmm, yeah, that's right.. Oh, alright, thanks :DD
I think we were to conclude this: And, segment PQ ≅ segment RS by the reason by Arc-chord equal theorem.
I do think so too. :) thanks
Alrighty, then.
