For , if it could meet it in three , those three points would be equally distant from the centre ; and hence , there would be three equal straight lines drawn from the same point to the same straight line , which is impossible ( Book Î ...

The centre C , the middle point D , of the chord AB , and the middle point G , of the arc subtended by this chord , are three points of the same line perpendicular to the chord . But two points are sufficient to determine the position ...
