If a radius of a circle bisects a chord then it is to that chord?
Perpendicular.
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.
The blue radius is perpendicular to the green chord?
Are you telling or asking if it is perpendicular
Does the perpendiculare bisector of a cord pass through the center of the circle?
Yes. The perpendicular bisector of a chord forms a radius when extended to the centre of the circle and a diameter when extended beyond the centre to the opposite point on the circumference.
If the blue radius below is perpendicular to the green chord and the segment is 6.5 units long what is the length of the chord?
13 units
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 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.
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 bisects a chord then it is to that chord?
Perpendicular.
A radius of a circle is perpendicular to a chord if and only if?
Bisects that chord
If a radius of a circle intersects a chord it is perpendicular to that chord?
False
What is a line perpendicular to a radius of a circle called?
A Chord. Or another radius!
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 intersects a chord it is perpendicular to that chord?
its false
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
How do you find the radius of a circle if you know the length of a chord and the shortest distance from the center of the chord to the circle?
Imagine if you will a circle with a chord drawn through it and a line running from the center of that chord to the center of the circle. That line is necessarily perpendicular to the chord. This means you have a right triangle whose hypotenuse is the radius of the circle. The radius is thus given by: r = sqrt{(1/2 chord length)^2 + (length of perpendicular line)^2} The actual formula to find the radius is as follows: r= C squared/8a + a/2, where C is the chord length, and a is the distance from center point of the chord to the circle , and a and C form an angle of 90 degrees. the entire formula before simplification is r = sqrt {(1/2 C)^2 + (r-a)^2}
Is a radius a chord of a circle?
No, but the diameter of a circle is its largest chord
