(A) Main Concepts and ResultsCircle, radius, diameter, chord, segment, cyclic quadrilateral. Equal chords of a circle (or of congruent circles) subtend equal angles at thecentre, If the angles subtended by the chords of a circle (or of congruent circles) at thecentre (or centres) are equal, then the chords are equal, The perpendicular drawn from the centre of the circle to a chord bisects the chord, The line drawn through the centre of a circle bisecting a chord is perpendicular tothe chord, There is one and only one circle passing through three given non-collinear points, Equal chords of a circle (or of congruent circles) are equidistant from the centre(or centres), Chords equidistant from the centre of a circle are equal in length, If two chords of a circle are equal, then their corresponding arcs are congruentand conversely, if two arcs are congruent, then their corresponding chords areequal, Congruent arcs of a circle subtend equal angles at the centre, The angle subtended by an arc at the centre is double the angle subtended by it atany point on the r

CIRCLES 99 EXERCISE 10.1 1. AD is a diameter of a circle and AB is a chord. If AD = 34 cm, AB = 30 cm, the distance of AB from the centre of the circle is :
