  2. Chord (geometry) - Wikipedia

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

    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).

  3. Suspended chord - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suspended_chord

    A suspended chord (or sus chord) is a musical chord in which the (major or minor) third is omitted and replaced with a perfect fourth or a major second. [1] The lack of a minor or a major third in the chord creates an open sound, while the dissonance between the fourth and fifth or second and root creates tension.

  4. Chord (music) - Wikipedia

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

    A suspended chord, or "sus chord", is a chord in which the third is replaced by either the second or the fourth. This produces two main chord types: the suspended second (sus2) and the suspended fourth (sus4). The chords, C sus2 and C sus4, for example, consist of the notes C–D–G and C–F–G, respectively. There is also a third type of ...

  5. Guitar chord - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guitar_chord

    The suspended fourth chord is often played inadvertently, or as an adornment, by barring an additional string from a power chord shape (e.g., E5 chord, playing the second fret of the G string with the same finger barring strings A and D); making it an easy and common extension in the context of power chords.

  6. Conjugate diameters - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conjugate_diameters

    Every line in projective geometry contains a point at infinity, also called a figurative point. The ellipse, parabola, and hyperbola are viewed as conics in projective geometry, and each conic determines a relation of pole and polar between points and lines. Using these concepts, "two diameters are conjugate when each is the polar of the ...

  7. Intersecting chords theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intersecting_chords_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.

  8. Added tone chord - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Added_tone_chord

    The practice of adding tones may have led to superimposing chords and tonalities, though added tone chords have most often been used as more intense substitutes for traditional chords. [3] For instance a minor chord that includes a major second factor holds a great deal more dramatic tension due to the very close interval between the major ...

  9. Chord diagram (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chord_diagram_(mathematics)

    Chord diagrams are conventionally visualized by arranging the objects in their order around a circle, and drawing the pairs of the matching as chords of the circle. The number of different chord diagrams that may be given for a set of 2 n {\displaystyle 2n} cyclically ordered objects is the double factorial ( 2 n − 1 ) ! ! {\displaystyle (2n ...
