A perpendicular from the center of a circle to a chord divides the circle into two arc segments, one on either side of the chord.
A perpendicular line from the center of a circle to a chord is always perpendicular to the chord itself.
The perpendicular from the center to a chord is always perpendicular to the chord itself and passes through the center of the circle.
The perpendicular distance from the center to the chord is equal to the length of the chord itself.
In a circle, the perpendicular distance from the center to a chord is always equal to the radius of the circle.
This property is known as the perpendicular distance theorem
