A chord is a straight line joining 2 points on the circumference of a circle. Chords within a circle can be related many ways. The theorems that involve chords of a circle are :
 +
Perpendicular bisector of a chord passes through the center of a circle.
 +
Congruent chords are equidistant from the center of a circle.
 +
If two chords in a circle are congruent, then their intercepted arcs are congruent.
 +
If two chords in a circle are congruent, then they determine two central angles that are congruent.

Concept #1 CHORD

Learning objectives

The students should be able to:

  1. Recall the meaning of circle and chord.
  2. State Properties of chord.
  3. By studying the theorems related to chords, the students should know that a chord in a circle is an important concept .
  4. They should be able to relate chord properties to find unknown measures in a circle.
  5. They should be able to apply chord properties for proof of further theorems in circles.

Notes for teachers

A chord is a straight line joining 2 points on the circumference of a circle. Chords within a circle can be related many ways. The theorems that involve chords of a circle are : Perpendicular bisector of a chord passes through the center of a circle. Congruent chords are equidistant from the center of a circle. If two chords in a circle are congruent, then their intercepted arcs are congruent. If two chords in a circle are congruent, then they determine two central angles that are congruent.
