1. When two chords intersect inside a circle, the product of the segments of one chord is equal to the of the segments of the other chord.
2. The Intersecting Chords Theorem states that if chords AB and CD intersect at point P inside a circle, then AP ⋅ PB = .
3. In the circle below, chords AB and CD intersect at point P. If AP = 6, PB = 8, and CP = 4, find the length of PD.
4. Chords EF and GH intersect at point K inside a circle. If EK = 5, KF = 12, and GK = 10, what is the length of KH?
