If a radius of a circle is perpendicular to a chord then?
Then the radius bisects the chord.
Does a diameter that is perpendicular to the chord bisect the chord?
yes
If the blue radius below is perpendicular to the green chord and the segment BC is 8.7 units long what is the length of the chord?
If the blue radius is perpendicular to the green chord at point C, it bisects the chord. Therefore, if segment BC measures 8.7 units, then the entire chord length is twice that distance. Thus, the length of the chord is 2 × 8.7 = 17.4 units.
Name line that biscets a circle?
A line that bisects a circle is called a diameter. It passes through the center of the circle and divides it into two equal halves. The diameter is also the longest chord of the circle.
What bisects a circle?
the diameter
If a radius of a circle is perpendicular to a chord then it that chord?
Bisects
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 is perpendicular to a chord then?
Then the radius bisects 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 is perpendicular to a chord then it bisects that chord?
YesAt a right angle
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
Does a diameter that is perpendicular to the chord bisect the chord?
yes
Does a diameter that is perpendicular to a chord bisect the chord?
Yes, any diameter which is perpendicular to a chord bisects said chord. This can be proved most easily with a picture, but is proved using a congruent triangle proof. Both triangles include the points at the center of the circle and the intersection of the diameter and chord. The other points should be the endpoints of the chord. They are congruent by hypotenuse leg; it was given that they are right triangle by the "perpendicular", the "leg" is the segment between the center of the circle and the intersection, and it is equal in both triangles because it is the same segment in both triangles. The hypotenuses are equal because both are radii of the circle. Because the triangles are congruent, their sides must be so the two halves of the chord are congruent, and therefore the chord is bisected by the diameter.
