In a circle, if a diameter is is perpendicular to a chord, then:

• it bisects the chord
• it bisects the corresponding arc
• it bisects BOTH the chord and its arc
• none of these answers are correct

In a circle, the perpendicular bisector of a chord:

• is tangent to the circle
• is the diameter
• is a right triangle
• eats frosted flakes for dinner

Find AC. (Do not include units.)
