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
When is a Chord a diameter?
The longest chord of a circle is its diameter
What bisects a circle?
the diameter
A perpendicular line or segment that bisects one side of a triangle is called the?
Perpendicular bisector.
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.
True or False If a radius of a circle intersects a chord then it bisects that chord?
False
the diameter of a circle is perpendicular to a chord whose length is 12 inches. If the length of a shorter segment of the diameter is 4 inches, what is the length of the longer segment of the diameter?
I get 9
Why can a chord be a diameter?
because the chord can be determine by the diameter and the diameter can be determine by the chord.
