When two chords intersect inside a circle, the product of the segments of one chord is equal to the product of the segments of the other chord. This is known as the Intersecting Chords Theorem.
1. In the circle below, chords AB and CD intersect at point E. If AE = 6 units, EB = 4 units, and CE = 3 units, what is the length of ED?
2. If two chords intersect inside a circle, the product of the segments of one chord is equal to the .
