A chord is a segment with endpoints on a circle. If a chord is not a diameter, then its endpoints divide the circle into a major and minor arc.

Example 2: a) In the figure and . Find .A B WX YZ WX
and are congruent arcs in congruent circles, so the
corresponding chords and are congruent.
WX YZ
WX YZ
WX = YZ Definition of congruent segments
7x – 2 = 5x + 6 Substitution
7x = 5x + 8 Add 2 to each side.
2x = 8 Subtract 5x from each side.
x = 4 Divide each side by 2.
So, WX = 7x – 2 = 7(4) – 2 or 26.

RT LM
RT = LM Definition of congruent segments
3x – 5 = 2x + 1 Substitution
3x = 2x + 6 Add 5 to each side.
x = 6 Subtract 2x from each side.
So, LM = 2x + 1 = 2(6) + 1 or 13.

Example 4: a) In the ceramic stepping stone below, diameter AB is 18 inches long and chord EF is 8 inches long. Find CD.
Draw radius CE.
This forms right ΔCDE.
![Page 11: Arcs and Chords. A chord is a segment with endpoints on a circle. If a chord is not a diameter, then its endpoints divide the circle into a major and.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020307/56649f335503460f94c507b3/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Find CE and DE.Since AB = 18 inches, CB = 9 inches. All radii of a circle arecongruent, so CE = 9 inches.
Since diameter AB is perpendicular to EF, AB bisects chord EF by Theorem 10.3. So, DE = 0.5(8) or 4 inches.
Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find CD.
CD2 + DE2 = CE2 Pythagorean TheoremCD2 + 42 = 92 SubstitutionCD2 + 16 = 81 Simplify.CD2 = 65 Subtract 16 from each side.
Take the positive square root.65CD

Example 4: b) In the circle below, diameter QS is 14 inches long and chord RT is 10 inches long. Find VU.
Draw radius VR.
This forms right ΔVRU.
![Page 13: Arcs and Chords. A chord is a segment with endpoints on a circle. If a chord is not a diameter, then its endpoints divide the circle into a major and.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020307/56649f335503460f94c507b3/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Find VR and UR.Since QS = 14 inches, VS = 7 inches. All radii of a circle arecongruent, so VR = 7 inches.
Since diameter QS is perpendicular to RT, QS bisects chord RT by Theorem 10.3. So, UR = 0.5(10) or 5 inches.
Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find VU.
VU2 + UR2 = VR2 Pythagorean TheoremVU2 + 52 = 72 SubstitutionVU2 + 25 = 49 Simplify.VU2 = 24 Subtract 25 from each side.
Take the positive square root.24VU

Example 5:
a) In , . Find .P EF GH PQ
Since chords EF and GH are congruent, they are equidistant from
P. So, PQ = PR.
PQ = PR
4x – 3 = 2x + 3 Substitution
x = 3 Simplify.
So, PQ = 4(3) – 3 or 9
