If a radius of a circle is perpendicular to a chord then it that chord?
Bisects
What is the longest chord of the circle?
The longest chord possible in a circle is one that is from one point on the circumference to its opposite point i.e. a chord that bisects the circle. Or to put it simply one straight down the middle
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.
Is a chord of a circle a line segment that connects a point on the circle to its center?
No because that is its radius
How do you find radius if you know the chord?
well,first the radius is half of the chord. Radius is the distance from the circle centre to the chord end. The chord is the line joining the ends of the arc. Draw this line. Call the distance from the arc of the circle at its deepest point to the mid point of the chord "c". If extended, this line will go throught the centre of the circle. Call half the length of the chord "y". Then the properties of circles and chords is that c(d-c)=y2 where d is the circle diameter, so that d = y2/c + c. And then radius is half that.
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.
If a radius of a circle is perpendicular to a chord then it that chord?
Bisects
A radius of a circle is perpendicular to a chord if and only if?
Bisects that chord
True or False If a radius of a circle intersects a chord then it bisects that chord?
False
If a radius of a circle is perpendicular to a chord then it bisects that chord?
YesAt a right angle
True or False if a radius of a circle is perpendicular to a chord then it bisects that chord?
true, because both distances of the chord are congruent
Is a radius a chord of a circle?
No, but the diameter of a circle is its largest 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.
In math how do you found the chord in a circle?
A chord is when two points in a circle are connected by segment. A diameter is a chord, but not a radius. The radius is not a complete segment in the circle
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
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
