Question

Oh no :/ I have 2 more :/ If a chord is perpendicular to a segment drawn from the center of the circle, what do you know about the point where the segment and the chord intersect? @jigglypuff314 @jdoe0001

Answer 2

I never understand those links :/

Answer 3

But it's asking what do we know about the point that is being intersected....

Answer 4

In a circle, a radius perpendicular to a chord bisects the chord.
In a circle, a radius that bisects a chord is perpendicular to the chord.
In a circle, the perpendicular bisector of a chord passes through the center of the circle.
(from the link jdoe gave)

Answer 5

the point by definition will be the MIDPOINT of the chord, thus bisecting it

Answer 6

Got it! :) Thanks jiggly :) Last one ;o What do you know about chords that are equidistant from the center of the circle?

Answer 7

equal in length?

Answer 8

Answer 9

yeah "In the figure above, chords WX and YZ are congruent."
so equal in length.

Answer 10

Got it! Thanks for the help! :)
