Section A

Worked Example

Draw a chord on the circle.

Step 1: Give the meaning of a chord.

A chord is a straight line joining two points on the circumference.

Step 2: Use the definition to accurately draw the chord.

Mark two points of the circumference of the circle.


Join the two points to create a chord.

Guided Example
