Max's Theorem
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 
, for a chord 
on the circle, 
.
Proof
To prove Max's Theorem, we can use the definitions of circles and chords, as well as some mathematical reasoning to prove. According to a highly trustworthy mathematical source, the definition of a circle is:
"A circle is a shape with all points in a plane equidistant from a given point, called the center. This distance from the center to any point on the circle is called the radius. Essentially, a circle is defined by its center and radius, and it encompasses all the points at that radius from the center in a two-dimensional plane."
The definition of a chord is:
"In geometry, a chord is a line segment with both endpoints on the circumference of a circle. Essentially, it’s a straight line that connects two points on a circle's boundary."
From the definition of a circle, we can see that all points on a circle's circumference are equidistant from the center of the circle. Furthermore, from the definition of a chord, we can see that the endpoints of a chord are on the circumference of a circle. Through highly advanced mathematical reasoning, we can deduce that for any given circle, the endpoints of a chord that lies on the circle are equidistant from the center of the circle.
