It's not clear from the question whether 'P' is the center of the circle, or maybe the circumference.
The distance from the center to the midpoint of AB is 8 mm.
The distance from the midpoint of AB the rest of the way to the circumference
of the circle is 2 mm.
To find the radius of the circle, we can use the Pythagorean theorem. The chord divides the circle into two equal parts, each forming a right triangle with the radius. The radius, the distance from the center to the chord, and half the length of the chord form a right triangle. Using the Pythagorean theorem, we have (radius)^2 = (distance from center)^2 + (1/2 * chord length)^2. Substituting in the given values, we get (radius)^2 = 8^2 - (1/2 * 4.2)^2. Solving for the radius gives us a radius of approximately 7.48 cm.
Half of the chord, the distance of the midpoint from the center, and a radius, form a right triangle, with the radius as its hypotenuse. (4.5)2 + (6)2 = (radius)2 (20.25) + (36) = 56.25 = R2 Radius = 7.5 inches
Bisects that chord
its false
YesAt a right angle
If radius of a circle intersects a chord then it bisects the chord only if radius is perpendicular to the chord.
Your question implies that it could be the radius, diameter or even the chord of a circle in which the diameter is the largest chord of a circle.
Then the radius bisects the chord.

No, but the diameter of a circle is its largest 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.
A chord is when two points in a circle are connected by segment. A diameter is a chord, but not a radius. The radius is not a complete segment in the circle
The relationship between the chord and the radius of the circle is Length of the chord = 2r sin(c/2) where r = radius of the circle and c = angle subtended at the center by the chord
well,first the radius is half of the chord. Radius is the distance from the circle centre to the chord end. The chord is the line joining the ends of the arc. Draw this line. Call the distance from the arc of the circle at its deepest point to the mid point of the chord "c". If extended, this line will go throught the centre of the circle. Call half the length of the chord "y". Then the properties of circles and chords is that c(d-c)=y2 where d is the circle diameter, so that d = y2/c + c. And then radius is half that.
Half of the chord, the distance of the midpoint from the center, and a radius, form a right triangle, with the radius as its hypotenuse. (4.5)2 + (6)2 = (radius)2 (20.25) + (36) = 56.25 = R2 Radius = 7.5 inches
a chord is a line between two points on the circle the radius is a line from the center to the circle
