A line through the center of a circle perpendicular to a chordbisects the chord and the arcs subtended by it.
We might, for example, define x as a line that bisects an angle without meeting the vertex, but this would not show that an x exists, and indeed it does not exist.
It will be noticed that Euclid adds to the usual definition the statement that a diameter bisects the circle.
A diameter of the circle is any straight line drawn through the center and terminated in both directions by the circumference of the circle, and such a straight line also bisects the circle.
Thales is said to have been the first to prove that a diameterbisects the circle, this being one of three or four propositions definitely attributed to him, and it is sometimes given as a proposition to be proved.
In measuring the deflection, the eye-piece is moved till the cross-hair bisects the slit, and the reading of the scale and divided head gives the position.
Then the eye-piece is moved till the cross-hair bisects the deflected image of the slit; the reading of scale and head are again taken, and the difference in readings gives the deflection.
Also, Q is the middle point of the chord BC, and therefore the diameter AD bisects all chords parallel to BC.

The triangles CNL and ANL are therefore equal, and the line LB bisects the angle ALC.
Any diameterbisects all chords parallel to its conjugate.

A centre of a conic bisects every chord through it.
The line whichbisects any two parallel chords is a diameter.
If a straight line through the centre of a circle bisect a chord, then it is perpendicular to the chord, and if it be perpendicular to the chord it bisects it.
