It can be: A DIAMETER ACHORD A TANGENT B B : oA angent 7 Chords and segments Astraight line joining two points on the circumference of a circle is called a chord. A chord divides a circle into two segments. ‘minor segment Perpendicular Bisector Congruent Chords NL The perpendicular bisector of a chord passes through the Congruent chords are equidistant center of the circle from the center of a circle The angle at the centre is twice the angle at the circumference. THEOREM 2 KO? Anangle ina me semi-circle is a always a right angle. THEOREM 3 Z\\_ Opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral add up to 180°. THEOREM 4 Angles from the same arc in the same segment are equal. DB A THEOREM 5 The angle between a tangent and a radius is a right angle. OAP = 90°. P tangent THEOREM 6 "The two tangents drawn from a point P outside a circle are equal in length. AP = BP. THEOREM 7 The alternate segment theorem The angle between the tangent and the chord at the point of contact is equal to the angle in the alternate segment. c chord tangent
