Chord Length and Distance (Ms Lim XH)
Chord Length and Distance
Line segment AB forms a chord as it connects two points on the circumference on the circle with a diameter of 7.66 units.
1. Move Points A and/or B along the circumference of the circle to explore how chord length (AB) relates to the chord's distance to center (CD). What do you notice?
2. What is the longest possible chord length for this circle? What do you notice?
3. State any other observations you made from this simulation.
