  2. Intersecting chords theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intersecting_chords_theorem

    The value of the two products in the chord theorem depends only on the distance of the intersection point S from the circle's center and is called the absolute value of the power of S; more precisely, it can be stated that: | | | | = | | | | = where r is the radius of the circle, and d is the distance between the center of the circle and the ...

  3. Chord (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chord_(geometry)

    The chord function is defined geometrically as shown in the picture. The chord of an angle is the length of the chord between two points on a unit circle separated by that central angle . The angle θ is taken in the positive sense and must lie in the interval 0 < θ ≤ π (radian measure).

  4. Bisection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bisection

    Line DE bisects line AB at D, line EF is a perpendicular bisector of segment AD at C, and line EF is the interior bisector of right angle AED. In geometry, bisection is the division of something into two equal or congruent parts (having the same shape and size). Usually it involves a bisecting line, also called a bisector.

  5. Chord function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chord_function

    The term chord function may refer to: Diatonic function – in music, the role of a chord in relation to a diatonic key; In mathematics, the length of a chord of a circle as a trigonometric function of the length of the corresponding arc; see in particular Ptolemy's table of chords .

  6. Secant line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secant_line

    A chord is the line segment that joins two distinct points of a circle. A chord is therefore contained in a unique secant line and each secant line determines a unique chord. In rigorous modern treatments of plane geometry, results that seem obvious and were assumed (without statement) by Euclid in his treatment, are usually proved.

  7. Universal chord theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_chord_theorem

    A chord (in red) of length 0.3 on a sinusoidal function. The universal chord theorem guarantees the existence of chords of length 1/n for functions satisfying certain conditions.

    For the treatment centers, the revolving door may be financially lucrative. “It’s a service that rewards the failure of the service,” Johnson said. “If you are going to a program, you don’t succeed and you pay X-thousand dollars. When you fail, you go back — another X-thousand dollars. Because it’s your fault.”

  9. Ptolemy's table of chords - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ptolemy's_table_of_chords

    When the arc reaches 60°, the chord length is exactly equal to the number of degrees in the arc, i.e. chord 60° = 60. For arcs of more than 60°, the chord is less than the arc, until an arc of 180° is reached, when the chord is only 120. The fractional parts of chord lengths were expressed in sexagesimal (base 60) numerals. For example ...
