  2. Chord (geometry) - Wikipedia

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

    Among properties of chords of a circle are the following: Chords are equidistant from the center if and only if their lengths are equal. 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.

  3. 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 ...

  4. Circle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circle

    The angle between a chord and the tangent at one of its endpoints is equal to one half the angle subtended at the centre of the circle, on the opposite side of the chord (tangent chord angle). If the angle subtended by the chord at the centre is 90 ° , then ℓ = r √2 , where ℓ is the length of the chord, and r is the radius of the circle.

  5. Circular segment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_segment

    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.

  6. Inscribed angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inscribed_angle

    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 2α. The inscribed angle theorem states that an angle θ inscribed in a circle is half of the central angle 2θ that intercepts the same arc on the circle.

  7. Dividing a circle into areas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dividing_a_circle_into_areas

    The number of points (n), chords (c) and regions (r G) for first 6 terms of Moser's circle problem. In geometry, the problem of dividing a circle into areas by means of an inscribed polygon with n sides in such a way as to maximise the number of areas created by the edges and diagonals, sometimes called Moser's circle problem (named after Leo Moser), has a solution by an inductive method.

  9. Constant chord theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constant_chord_theorem

    The constant chord theorem is a statement in elementary geometry about a property of certain chords in two intersecting circles. The circles k 1 {\displaystyle k_{1}} and k 2 {\displaystyle k_{2}} intersect in the points P {\displaystyle P} and Q {\displaystyle Q} .
