A chord is a straight line drawn through a circle which divides the circle into two parts. The line can be drawn anywhere in the circle EXCEPT the center where it becomes the diameter.

What are two minor arcs that are congruent with corresponding chords?

They are arcs of congruent circles.


Does a circle have a parallel side?

No. Circles have absolutely no sides at all.


Are the corresponding chords of two congruent arcs are equal?

Only if they belong to congruent circles.


Prove that if chords of congruent circles subtend equal angles at their centers then the chords are equal?

let the two circles with centre O and P are congruent circles, therefore their radius will be equal. given: AB and CD are the chords of the circles with centres O and P respectively. ∠AOB=∠CPD TPT: AB=CD proof: in the ΔAOB and ΔCPD AO=CP=r and OB=PD=r ∠AOB=∠CPD therefore by SAS congruency, ΔAOB and ΔCPD are congruent triangle. therefore AB=CD


Two arcs of a circle are congruent if and only if associated chords are perpendicular?

In the same circle, or in congruent circles, two minor arcs are congruent if and only if their corresponding chords are congruent.


What is the length of a chord in a circle?

chords inside circles can be any length from the diameter to almost zero length.


If two chords are the same distance from the center of a circle they are?

If two chords are the same distance from the center of a circle, they are equal in length. This is due to the property of circles where equal distances from the center to the chords indicate that the chords lie parallel to each other and are congruent. Thus, the relationship between the center and the chords confirms their equality in length.


Can there be a finite number of chords that can be created in a circle?

Generally, no. All circles contain an infinite number of chords, as a chord can be created between any two points on the circle. With an infinite number of points on the circle we can create an infinite number of chords.

Are the corresponding arcs of two congruent chords equal?

If they're in the same circle or in circles of equal radii (radiuses), then yes.


Are All diameters chords in a circle?

A diameter is a cord in a circle containing the center of the circle. But some circles are sections of spheres. Not all diameters are diameters of spheres.


What Prove that if two chords of a circle bisect each other then the two chords are diameter of the given circle?

If two chords of a circle bisect each other, they must intersect at a point that is equidistant from both endpoints of each chord. By the properties of circles, the perpendicular bisector of any chord passes through the center of the circle. Since the two chords bisect each other at the same point and are both perpendicular to the line connecting their endpoints, this point must also be the center of the circle, making both chords diameters of the circle. Thus, if two chords bisect each other, they are indeed diameters of the circle.
