On a scale of chords the chord of 60 degrees equals

  • A.the radius of the arc used
  • B.the diameter of the arc used
  • C.half the radius of the arc used
  • D.twice the diameter of the arc used

Answer: A

Correct answer: the radius of the arc used

The chord of 60 degrees equals the radius, because the chord, the radius to each end and the arc form an equilateral triangle. This is the property the scale is built on: the 60 degree mark is set at the radius, which fixes the scale, and every other chord is stepped off from the same arc.
