PRINCIPIA · THEOREM
In the same / equal circle: central angle / arc / chord are pairwise equivalent
Dependencies: Protractor axiom, SAS congruence.
Statement
Let be a given circle of radius , with , , , on . Consider the following three statements:
- Equal central angles: ;
- Equal arcs: (subtended in the same orientation);
- Equal chords: .
In a single circle (or in two equal circles), these three statements are pairwise equivalent: any one implies the other two. Formally:
