Unit VIII10.5: Segments of Chords
Objective: students will be finding the lengths of segments formed when chords intersect.
In this section, we will be finding the lengths of segments formed when chords intersect. Theorem 10.5: If a diameter is perpendicular to a chord, then it bisects the chord and
its arc.
Example: In OQ, QBAC , AC = 8 and QD = 4. Find the radius of OQ. Example: In a circle of radius 10 inches, a chord is 5 inches from the center. Find the length of the chord as an exact answer.

Theorem 10.15: If two chords intersect inside a circle, then the product of the two
segments on one chord equals the product of the two segments on the
second chord.
Example: If AX = 7, XC = 8 and BX = 11, find XD.
Example: If AX = 8, XC = 15, BX = 18 and XD = y + 3, solve for y.
