(c) The locus of a point equidistant from two given points is the perpendicular bisector of the line joining the points.
(iv) Circles

•       A straight line is drawn from the center of a circle to bisect a chord that is not a diameter is at right angles to the chord.
•       The perpendicular to a chord from the center bisects the chord (without proof).
•       Equal chords are equidistant from the center.
•       Chords equidistant from the center are equal (without proof).
•       There is one and only one circle that passes through three given points, not in a straight line.

(b) Arc and chord properties:

•       The angle that an arc of a circle subtends at the center is double that which it subtends at any point on the remaining part of the circle.
•       Angles in the same segment of a circle are equal (without proof).
•       Angle in a semi-circle is a right angle.
•       If two arcs subtend equal angles at the center, they are equal, and its converse.
•       If two chords are equal, they cut off equal arcs, and its converse (without proof).
•       If two chords intersect internally or externally then the product of the lengths of the segments are equal.
