English translation of Apollonius’s Conics
I read from that book first pages: The most accurate English translation of Apollonius’s Conics (which is his main work) is by R. Catesby Taliaferro and Michael N. Fried, published by Green Lion Press.
I read: Apollonius’s his predecessor characterized the
curves by using the unique diameter that makes right angles with the chords,,
The question is where is that chord they mean here can u show me simple diagram as example
I didn't understand the full sentence where is the unique diameter and the right angle and the cord?
