  2. Chord (geometry) - Wikipedia

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

    A chord (from the Latin chorda, meaning "bowstring") of a circle is a straight line segment whose endpoints both lie on a circular arc. If a chord were to be extended infinitely on both directions into a line, the object is a secant line. The perpendicular line passing through the chord's midpoint is called sagitta (Latin for "arrow").

  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. Scale of chords - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_of_Chords

    A chord is a line drawn between two points on the circumference of a circle. Look at the centre point of this line. For a circle of radius r, each half will be ⁡ so the chord will be ⁡. The line of chords scale represents each of these values linearly on a scale running from 0 to 60.

  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. List of musical symbols - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_musical_symbols

    Musical symbols are marks and symbols in musical notation that indicate various aspects of how a piece of music is to be performed. There are symbols to communicate information about many musical elements, including pitch, duration, dynamics, or articulation of musical notes; tempo, metre, form (e.g., whether sections are repeated), and details about specific playing techniques (e.g., which ...

  7. Resolution (music) - Wikipedia

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

    This is an example of a suspended chord. In reference to chords and progressions for example, a phrase ending with the following cadence IV–V, a half cadence, does not have a high degree of resolution. However, if this cadence were changed to (IV–)V–I, an authentic cadence, it would resolve much more strongly by ending on the tonic I chord.

  8. Hallade method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hallade_method

    This formula is also true for other units of measurement such as in feet. The relationship of versine, chord and radius is derived from the Pythagorean theorem. Based on the diagram on the right: = We can replace OC with r (radius) minus v, OA with r and AC with L/2 (half a chord).

  9. Bicentric quadrilateral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicentric_quadrilateral

    If a bicentric quadrilateral has tangency chords k, l and diagonals p, q, then it has area [8]: p.129 = +. If k, l are the tangency chords and m, n are the bimedians of the quadrilateral, then the area can be calculated using the formula [9]
