The above statement is true.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Given statement,
When one chord is further from the center of a
Calculation:
Consider statement that one chord is further from the center of a circle than another chord, the chord further from the center is the longer of two chords.
As it is known that, Distance from chord, radius of circle and length of chord form a right
It is clear from above equation that if the distance from chord is longer its chord length will be small.
Therefore, if one chord is farther from the center of a circle than another chord, the chord farther from the center is the longer of two chords.
