Main Concept
If two chords in a circle, and , intersect at right angles in a point O, not being the center, then:
+ + + = .
Click on the plot to create points and on the circle's perimeter. Adjust the slider to move the x-coordinate, xO , of the point , where the two lines intersect. Note that the sum of the squares of distances between points , , and D is equal to the square of the diameter of the circle.
