Chords Line Segments Circles

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

• it is a secant

• it is parallel to the chord

• it is perpendicular to the chord

• it is just shaking out the sillies
