Question

Construct a circle of any radius, and draw a chord on it. Then construct the radius of the circle that bisects the chord. Measure the angle between the chord and the radius. What can you conclude about the intersection of a chord and the radius that bisects it? Take a screenshot of your construction, save it, and insert the image below your answer.

Answer 1

Given:

A circle with any radius and chord on it.

Required:

We need to find the measure of the angle between the chord and the radius.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the radius of the circle. r =5 cm.

Construct the circle with a radius of 5 cm.

Take 5 cm in the compass and draw a circle.

Take O be the centre of the circle.

Draw a straight line segment whose endpoints both lie on a circular arc.

The line segment AB is the chord.

To construct the bisector of AB, take the more than half measure of AB and fix t
