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.

Are the corresponding chords of two congruent arcs are equal?
Only if they belong to congruent circles.
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 are primary chords?
primary chords are chords witch are i dont have a clue
Are all chords diameters?
No, all chords are not diameters, though all diameters are chords.
An instrucircles used to construct circles and arcs of circles?
A pair of compasses are use to construct circles and arcs of circles
Does a circle have a parallel side?
No. Circles have absolutely no sides at all.
What are two minor arcs that are congruent with corresponding chords?
They are arcs of congruent circles.
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.
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.
When is pi used in maths?
WHEN THE TEACHER TELLS YOU THAT YOU NEED TO USE PI...SORRY THAT'S ALL I CAN ANSWER FOR YOU...LATERZWhen you use chords, diameter, and radii in circles
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 are primary chords?
primary chords are chords witch are i dont have a clue
What is the opposite of consonance chords?
The opposite of consonance chords are dissonance chords.
