Answer to Problem 2CT
The above statement is True.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
If a chord in one
Calculation:
Consider the statement:
“If a chord in one circle is congruent to a chord in another circle, the arcs of these chords must have congruent central angles”.
As a diameter cuts the circle in half, and a chord is just another line in the circle that goes from one point on the circle to the other
Therefore, if those two lines are perpendicular, it doesn’t matter where the chord is in the circle wherever it is, it is the diameter that is perpendicular to the chord, bisects the chord.
Hence, the given statement is true.
