If two chords intersect in the interior of a circle, then the product of the lengths of the segments of one chord equals the product of the lengths of the segments of the other chord. Each product equals r2-d2, where r is the radius of the circle and d is the distance from the point of intersection of the chords to the center.

1.    A point is chosen at random in the interior of a circle of radius R. The probability that the point falls inside a given region situated in the interior of the circle is proportional to the area of this region. Find the probability that: a)    The point occurs at a distance less than r (r>R) from the center b)    The smaller angle between a given direction and the line joining the point to the center does not exceed α.

Task 3 Print Circle Theorems In this unit, you learned about some of the important properties of circles. Let’s take a look at a property of circles that might be new to you. You will use GeoGebra to demonstrate a theorem about chords and radii. Open GeoGebra, and complete each step below. Part A Construct a circle of any radius, and draw a chord on it. Then construct the radius of the circle that bisects the chord. Measure the angle...

Circle A has a radius of 9 units. Point R lies 5 units away from A. A chord drawn through R is partitioned by the diameter of A passing through R into two segments, one of which has a length of 7 units. Is the length of the other segment longer or shorter than 7 units? Justify your answer.

Consider two concentric spherical shells with different radii, namely one is inside the other. The spherical shell inside has radius R1 = 7.00 cm and charge q1 = +3.00×10^-6 C; the spherical shell outside has radius R2 = 17.0 cm and charge q2 = −5.00×10^-6 C. For both shells charges are distributed uniformly over their surfaces. Assume that V = 0 at large distances from both shells. A) Find the electric potential of the two shells at the distance r...

Any straight line segment can be extended indefinitely in a straight line. 3. Given any straight line segment, a circle can be drawn having the segment as radius and one endpoint as center. 4. All right angles are congruent. 5. If two lines are drawn which intersect a third in such a way that the...

1.      This exercise asks you to negate various results that are equivalent to the Euclidean parallel postulate. (a)   Alternate Postulate 5.1. Given a line and a point not on the line, exactly one line can be drawn through the given point and parallel to the given line. (b)   Alternate Postulate 5.2. If two parallel lines are cut but a transversal, then the alternate interior angles are equal, each exterior angle is equal to the opposite interior angle, and sum of...
