True or False? The perpendicular bisectors of any chords on a circle intersect at the center of the circle
1. Using the Segment tool construct chords (AB) and (CD)
2. Select Perpendicular Bisector from the Drop-Down Menu.
Click on chord AB to create the perpendicular bisector of (AB)
Does the perpendicular bisector of (AB) pass through the center of the circle?
2. Select Perpendicular Bisector from the Drop-Down Menu.
Click on chord CD to create the perpendicular bisector of (CD)
Does the perpendicular bisector of (CD) pass through the center of the circle?
What do you think?
What must be true about (AB) and (CD), for one to be the rotation of the other?
If (CD) is a rotation of(AB), where is the Center of Rotation?
Explain how to or write steps to find the Center of a Circle on paper using a compass
