Max's Theorem is a relationship that holds between circles and chords that lie on the circle.

Theorem

The theorem states that for any given circle, the endpoints of a chord that lies on the circle are equidistant from the center of the circle. For example, given a circle $O$, for a chord $AB$ on the circle, $\overline {AO} = \overline {BO}$.
