In a circle, if a diameter bisects a chord (that is not a diameter), then:

it is perpendicular to the chord

it is just shaking out the sillies

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

it bisects BOTH the chord and its arc

it bisects the corresponding arc

none of these answers are correct

Use the diagram of circle A. Which expression and deductive reasoning can be used to find the value of y?

$$y+4=2y+1$$ because if a diameter is perpendicular to a chord, its the perpendicular bisector to the chord. Therefore the chord is divided into two equal halves.

$$2y+1=\ 5x-18$$ because if a diameter is perpendicular to a chord, its the perpendicular bisector to the chord. Therefore the chord is equal to its corresponding arc.

$$y+3=3x-4$$ because if a diameter is perpendicular to a chord, its the perpendicular bisector to the chord. Therefore the chord is equal to its corresponding arc.

$$y+4+2y+1$$ because if a diameter is perpendicular to a chord, its the perpendicular bisector to the chord. Therefore the chords are added together.

Determine if the following expression is true or false. Why?

The expression $$3x-4=5x-18$$ is true because if a diameter is perpendicular to a chord, it is the bisector of the chord and its arcs.

The expression 3x-4=5x-18 3 x − 4 = 5 x − 1 8 is true because if a radius is perpendicular to a chord, it is the bisector of the chord and its arcs.

The expression $$3x-4=5x-18$$ is false because if a diameter is perpendicular to a chord, it is the bisector of the chord only.

The expression $$3x-4=5x-18$$ is false because if a diameter is perpendicular to a tangent line, it is the bisector of the diameter.
