To verify that perpendicular bisector of a chord passes through the centre of the circle.
PREREQUISITE KNOWLEDGE
Concept of circle and it's properties
Concept of perpendicular bisector of a line
MATERIALS REQUIRED
Coloured glazed paper
Colours
White paper
PROCEDURE
Take a coloured paper and draw a circle of any radius with centre O
Draw a chord AB ( Image 1)
Image 1
Fold the circle in such a way that B falls on A and press to get a crease ( Image 2)
Image 2
OBSERVATION
The centre of the circle lies on the crease ( perpendicular bisector of AB)
Image 3
CONCLUSION
It is Verified that the perpendicular bisector of the chord passes through the centre of the circle.
Very helpful to me
