If a triangle is drawn in a circle with a diameter as the base of the triangle, then the angle opposite that diameter is a right angle.

This is an extension of the theorem that the angle which an arc of a circle subtends at the centre of a circle is twice the angle which the arc subtends at the circumference.

In the case of a diameter, then the angle subtended at the centre is 180° and thus the angle at the circumference is 90°.

What is pitch circular diameter in electric arc furnace?

It is the diameter of the circle formed by the three electrodes. Popular abbreviation is PCD. In a round furnace three electrodes(Normally AC furnace) are centered at the peak of the equilateral triangle.

What is the relationship between a triangle and a chord within a circle?

In a circle, a chord is a line segment that connects two points on the circle's circumference. A triangle can be formed within a circle using the chord as one of its sides.

What is the relationship between a triangle and a 7-chord in geometry?

In geometry, a 7-chord is a line segment that connects two points on a circle and divides the circle into two parts. A triangle can be formed by connecting the endpoints of a 7-chord with the center of the circle. The relationship between a triangle and a 7-chord is that the 7-chord is a side of the triangle when the center of the circle is one of the triangle's vertices.
