If a chord is perpendicular to a segment drawn from the center of the circle, what do you know about the point where the segment and the chord intersect?

If a chord is perpendicular to a segment drawn from the center of the circle, the intersection of the line segment to the chord bisects the chord. In other words, their point of intersection is the midpoint of the chord.
