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 it is perpendicular to that chord?

False


How is an apothem different from a radius?

An apothem is a line drawn perpendicular to a side of a regular polygon from the center of the polygon. A polygon is not a circle so it cannot have a radius. The radius of a circle is drawn from the center to any point in the circumference of the circle. You can draw a circle which encloses the regular polygon touching all vertices. The polygon is said to be inscribed in the circle. The apothem will be less than the radius because the radius is not perpendicular to any side, it can be drawn to a vertex but the apothem is perpendicular to a side, so it is shorter. Ex: draw a square with a circle which inscribes it. You can see that the apothem will be less than the radius.


What is the shape of the cross section taken perpendicular to the base of a cylinder?

The shape of the cross section taken perpendicular to the base of a cylinder is a circle. This circular cross section is consistent regardless of the height at which the cut is made, as long as the cut is perpendicular to the axis of the cylinder. The radius of the circle corresponds to the radius of the cylinder's base.


What does perpendicular mean mathematicalywhat is radius?

Perpindicular lines are like the lines in the letter "T". The intersect each other at a 90 degree angle. A radius is the distance from the center of the circle to the circle itself. It is half the circle's diameter.

What does the radius-tangent theorem state?

The radius-tangent theorem states that a radius drawn to the point of tangency of a circle is perpendicular to the tangent line at that point. This theorem is based on the fact that the radius of a circle is always perpendicular to the tangent line at the point where the tangent touches the circle. This relationship is crucial in geometry and helps in solving various problems related to circles and tangents.


What happens where a radius meets the tangent?

The radius and the tangent are perpendicular at the point on the circle where they meet.
