Slide points A, B, C, D to illustrate the result.
It is important to notice that lengths are always measured to the intersection of
the chords regardless of whether this intersection is inside or outside the circle.

You might want to look at the special cases when the points coincide and tangents to the circle are created.
Does this change the result?
