Question

True or False? If a radius of a circle intersects a chord, it is perpendicular to that chord.

Answer 1

If a radius of a circle intersects a chord, it would be unlikely for it to be perpendicular to that chord, so your answer choice for this question should be false.

Answer 2

False

Explanation:

If a radius of circle intersect a chord then it is not necessary that it bisect the chord.

If the radius bisects the chord then it will be perpendicular to chord.

But, if does not bisect the chord then it won't be perpendicular to that chord.

The radius is perpendicular to chord when it bisects that chord .

Hence, if a radius of a circle intersects a chord, it is not perpendicular to that chord.

Answer : False
