What happens here

Repeat the process by drawing a second chord across a different section of the circle. Again, select an easily divisible length (e.g., 8 inches) and mark it. Find the midpoint of this second chord. For an 8-inch chord, the midpoint would be at 4 inches.

Goal: Create a second chord and identify its exact midpoint.

Tools and materials

  • Combination Square — Measuring and marking the second chord on the circle
  • Pencil/Marker — Marking the second chord and its midpoint
  • Circle N/A — The object on which the center is to be found
