Equal chords are subtended by equal angles from the center of the circle. A chord that passes through the center of a circle is called a diameter and is the longest chord of that specific circle. If the line extensions (secant lines) of chords AB and CD intersect at a point P, then their lengths satisfy AP·PB = CP·PD (power of a point theorem).
In Euclidean geometry, the intersecting chords theorem, or just the chord theorem, is a statement that describes a relation of the four line segments created by two intersecting chords within a circle. It states that the products of the lengths of the line segments on each chord are equal. It is Proposition 35 of Book 3 of Euclid's Elements.
A circular segment (in green) is enclosed between a secant/chord (the dashed line) and the arc whose endpoints equal the chord's (the arc shown above the green area). In geometry, a circular segment or disk segment (symbol: ⌓) is a region of a disk [1] which is "cut off" from the rest of the disk by a straight line.
For fixed points A and B, the set of points M in the plane for which the angle ∠AMB is equal to α is an arc of a circle. The measure of ∠ AOB , where O is the center of the circle, is 2 α . The inscribed angle theorem states that an angle θ inscribed in a circle is half of the central angle 2 θ that intercepts the same arc on the circle.
A Massachusetts high school football player was hospitalized with a “traumatic brain injury” following a “disturbing” injury during a game on Thanksgiving Day, according to local officials.
Shelf-staple food items like spices, nuts, coffee and spice blends can be packed in carry-on luggage, while sauces, marinades and oils can be brought home in checked luggage.
Sector: a region bounded by two radii of equal length with a common centre and either of the two possible arcs, determined by this centre and the endpoints of the radii. Segment: a region bounded by a chord and one of the arcs connecting the chord's endpoints. The length of the chord imposes a lower boundary on the diameter of possible arcs.
