Why can a radius be a chord?
a radius can be a chord beca- wait why would i know!?!?!?
A radius of a circle is perpendicular to a chord if and only if?
Bisects that chord
What is the radius of a circle in which the longest chord has length y?
longest chord = diameter y = longest chord y = diameter radius = 1/2 diameter therefore, radius = 1/2y
How do you Find Arc Length of Segment from Chord Length and Radius?
multiply the chord length and radius and divide by 2
If a radius of a circle is perpendicular to a chord then it bisects that chord?
YesAt a right angle
How is a chord different from the radius?
a chord is a line between two points on the circle the radius is a line from the center to the circle
If a radius of a circle intersects a chord then it bisects that chord?
If radius of a circle intersects a chord then it bisects the chord only if radius is perpendicular to the chord.
If a radius of a circle is perpendicular to a chord then?
Then the radius bisects the chord.
Why can a radius be a chord?
a radius can be a chord beca- wait why would i know!?!?!?
Is a chord a radius?
No but the diameter is a chord.
If a radius of a circle is perpendicular to a chord at what point does it intersect the chord?
The radius of the circle that is perpendicular to a chord intersects the chord at its midpoint, so it is said to bisect the chord.
What is the relationship between the chord and the radius of circle?
The relationship between the chord and the radius of the circle is Length of the chord = 2r sin(c/2) where r = radius of the circle and c = angle subtended at the center by the chord
If a radius of a circle is perpendicular to a chord then it that chord?
Bisects
If a radius of a circle bisects a chord then it is to that chord?
Perpendicular.
How is a cord different from a radius?
It is spelled chord. A radius is a straight line from the center (centre) to any point on the circumference. a chord is any straight line through the circle intersecting the circumference at two points. A diameter is a chord that also intersects the center.
How do you find the radius given the chord length?
If you are given a chord length of a circle, unless you are given more information about the chord, you can not determine what the radius of the circle will be. This is because the chord length in a circle can vary from a length of (essentially) 0, up to a length of double the radius (the diameter). The best you can say about the radius if given the chord length, is that the length of the radius is at least as long has half half the chord length.
How do you calculate the coordinates of chord given the length of radius and chord?
You cannot. If you rotate the circle around its centre, the lengths of the radius and chord will remain the same but the coordinates of the chord will change.
