So is all that the answer?

radius is not a chord

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

i think we can have perpendicular chords that are not diameters

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

I have just pushed the diameters up and left by the same amount so that they are at the same distance from the center. And we know that the chords that are at same distance from the center are congruent...
