A circle has a chord XYXY. Two distinct points PP and QQ lie on the circumference on the same side of XYXY. Answer the following questions. (i) Define a chord of a circle. (ii) What is a segment of a circle? Name the segment in which points PP and QQ lie with respect to the chord XYXY. (iii) The chord XYXY subtends ∠XPY\angle XPY at PP and ∠XQY\angle XQY at QQ. Explain why these two angles are equal.
