To prove that among all the chords of a circle passing through a given point within it, the shortest chord is the one that is bisected at that point, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Draw the Circle and Identify Points:** - Let \( O \) be the center of the circle and \( P \) be a point inside the circle. Draw a circle with center \( O \) and radius \( r \). 2. **Draw Chords Through Point \( P \):** ...
