8.1 – Properties of Chords & Arcs
Bisecting chords, perpendicular from centre, equidistant chords
This section covers the fundamental properties of chords and arcs: the perpendicular from the centre bisects a chord, equal chords are equidistant from the centre, and congruent arcs have equal chords. You'll learn to apply these properties to solve geometric problems.
Chord properties & applications
8.2 – Arcs, Central Angles & Congruence
Equal arcs, equal chords, central angles, circle through three points
This section covers the relationships between arcs, chords, and central angles. You'll learn that equal chords subtend equal angles at the centre, and that one and only one circle can pass through three non-collinear points.
Arcs, angles & circle through three points
