Question
Suppose you use geometry software to construct two chords, RS and TU, that Intersect inside a circle at
V.
U
If you measured RV, VS, TV, and VU, you would find that the product of the lengths of the segments on
one chord will equal the product of the lengths of the segments on the other chord. So, RV VS =TV
VU. Now, suppose you drag the points around the circle and examine the changes in the measurements.
Would the relationship between the chord segments change? Complete the explanation.
The product of the lengths of the segments on one chord will ?
lengths of the segments on the other chord. So, the relationship between the chord segments
v equal the product of the
v change.
