A I6 is the analytical way to say "I chord, first inversion." This could also mean (and it usually does) that the I chord, in any inversion, has the third in the bass. Let's look at some examples:
Suppose you were in the key of C major. The I chord would be C, made up of the notes C, E, and G with C in the bass. Therefore, the I6 chord would be C/E (C with the bass note E).
Suppose you were in the key of G major. The I chord would be G, made up of the notes G, B, and D with G in the bass. Therefore, the I6 chord would be G/B (G with the bass note B).
This also brings up if you have the I chord with the fifth in the bass. That is written as I46 (but with the numbers directly on top of each other, which I don't know how to do on the computer). In C this chord would be C/G.

Name a chord congruent to chord ZT.
If radius of a circle intersects a chord then it bisects the chord only if radius is perpendicular to 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.
because the chord can be determine by the diameter and the diameter can be determine by the chord.
A chord is any line segment going from one side of the circle to another. A diameter is a special chord - it is a chord that goes through the center of the circle. It is also the biggest chord possible in the circle. So all diameters are chords, but not all chords are diameters
