Problem
In a circle, a radius intersects a chord at a point such that the segments of the chord have lengths 2 and 4. This implies the radius is perpendicular to the chord.
Step-by-step solution
A radius is perpendicular to a chord if and only if it bisects the chord. Since $AB=2$ and $BC=4$, the chord is not bisected, so the radius is not perpendicular to the chord.
Answer
False
