[color=#980000][b]Questions:[/b][/color][br][br][color=#000000]Notice how this [/color][color=#3d85c6]diameter[/color] [color=#000000]intersects this chord at a right angle. [i]That is, this[/i][/color][i] [color=#3c78d8]diameter[/color] [color=#000000]was drawn so that it's perpendicular to the chord. [/color][/i][br]
[color=#000000]If a[/color] [color=#3d85c6]diameter[/color] [color=#000000]intersects a chord at a right angle, what does this[/color] [color=#3d85c6]diameter[/color] [color=#000000]do to this chord? How was this evidenced in the applet above? [/color]
