Yes.
Does the perpendicular bisector of a cord of a circle passe through the center of the circle?
Yes, the perpendicular bisector of a cord is the shortest distance from the centre of a circle to the cord.

What is the shortest distance between a point and a line?
The length of a line segment that starts at the point and is perpendicular to the original line.
Do you measure from the front or back of the rim when measuring for the foul and three-point lines?
When shooting free throws, the distance is measured from the foul line to the base of the backboard. In the case of 3-pointers, the shortest distance is measured...depending on where the ball is shot from. If you shoot from the corner, the distance is measured to the side of the rim. If you shoot from the top of the 3 point arc, the distance is measured to the front of the rim.
What is the shortest distance to get from one point to another?
The shortest distance is displacement and total distance is length.
