Chord Properties and

Segments Lengths in

Circles

If two chords are congruent, then their corresponding arcs are congruent.

8x – 7 3x + 3

8x – 7 = 3x + 3

1.Solve for x.

x = 2

2.Find the length of WX.

If two chords are congruent, then they are equidistant from the center.

4. In K, K is the midpoint of RE. If TY = -3x + 56 and US = 4x, find the length of TY.

If a diameter is perpendicular to a chord, then it also bisects the chord.

This results in congruent arcs too.

Sometimes, this creates a right triangle & you’ll use Pythagorean Theorem.

5. IN Q, KL LZ. If CK = 2x + 3 and CZ = 4x, find x.
