Part 1
Choose the correct answer below.
A.
The center is at the intersection of GH and​ KM, because if a chord is the orthogonal bisector of another​ chord, then the first chord is a diameter. Two diameters intersect at the center of a circle.
B.
The center is between the quadrilateral formed by the​ chords, because ModifyingAbove KGM with arc and ModifyingAbove GMH with arc are major arcs and include the center of the circle.
C.
The center is at the intersection of GH and​ KM, because if a chord is the orthogonal bisector of another​ chord, then the first chord is a radius. Two radii intersect at the center of a circle.
D.
The center is outside the quadrilateral formed by the​ chords, because ModifyingAbove KGM with arc and ModifyingAbove GMH with arc are minor arcs and include the center of the circle.
