The diagram shows the chord Q and its related arc, Q. ssential Understanding You can use information about congruent parts of a circle (or congruent circles) to find information about other parts of the circle (or circles). Q Lesson L VocabularyV chord The following theorems and their converses confirm that if you know that chords, arcs, or central angles in a circle are congruent, then you know the other two parts are congruent. - and Its onverse central angles have congruent arcs. onverse arcs have congruent central angles.

Two circles may have central angles with congruent chords, but the central angles will not be congruent unless the circles are congruent. In the diagram, } @ }. Given that @, what can you conclude? because, within congruent circles, congruent chords have congruent central angles (conv. of Thm. -). because, within congruent circles, congruent chords have congruent arcs (Thm. -). Got It?. Reasoning Use the diagram in roblem. Suppose you are given } } and. How can you show? rom this, what else can you conclude? - and Its onverse Within a circle or in congruent circles, chords equidistant from the center or centers are congruent. onverse chords are equidistant from the center (or centers).
