What do you know about chords that are equidistant from the center of the circle?

OpenStudy (♪chibiterasu):

|dw:1440441142656:dw| Let's pretend these are equidistant.

OpenStudy (♪chibiterasu):

And taht dot is the center of the circle.

OpenStudy (♪chibiterasu):

What does it look like they have in common?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have no clue

OpenStudy (♪chibiterasu):

Do you know what "equidistant" means?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

equal distances

OpenStudy (♪chibiterasu):

Yeah. Now these lines are the same distance from the center of the circle, so what should they have in common?

OpenStudy (♪chibiterasu):

Look at it this way: if they were any different they would not be equidistant.

OpenStudy (♪chibiterasu):

As in like, if one were any different than the other . . . any different detail . . . they wouldn't be equidistant. Because they are chords.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks!

OpenStudy (♪chibiterasu):

Np I guess. The term would be "congruence" xD
