Arcs and chords

Arcs and chords can be used together in many


ways. For example, a chord can be used to draw an
arc by connecting the two points of the chord to
the center of the circle. Arcs and chords can also be
used to calculate the area and circumference of a
circle.The main difference between arcs and chords
is in the way they are constructed. Arcs are
constructed by connecting two points on the
circumference of a circle, while chords are
constructed by connecting two points on the
circumference of a circle with a line. Arcs tend to
be more curved than chords, which are more
linear.In conclusion, arcs and chords are both
useful concepts in mathematics and art. They are
similar in that they are both used to construct
curves and lines, but they differ in the way they are
constructed. Arcs are constructed by connecting
two points on the circumference of a circle, while
chords are constructed by connecting two points
on the circumference of a circle with a line.
