Can a circle with the diameter of 15 have a same chord of 4 inches?

I'm not sure what you mean by "same chord", but a circle of diameter can have a chord of 30, or anything less. (a chord is a segment joining two points on the circle)

What is it when the point that is the same distance from all the points of a circle?
Your question implies that it could be the radius, diameter or even the chord of a circle in which the diameter is the largest chord of a circle.
What is a line segment whose endpoints are on the same circle?
A chord or the circle's diameter.
What is a segment that has both endpoints on a circle called?
That's a 'chord' of a circle. If the chord happens to pass through the center of the circle, then it's called a 'diameter', and no chord of the same circle can be longer.
Is a diameter the same as a chord?
Hey,Yes and no.A chord is any straight line that starts and ends on the circle. If a chord goes through the center of the circle then it is a diameter.Hope this helps,Toby
What is a segment that has both endpoints on the circle called?
It's called a "chord" of the circle. If it happens to go through the center of the circle,then it's also called a "diameter" of the circle, and no other chord in the same circlecan be longer.
How are diameter and cord the same?
A chord is a straight line inside a circle that spans its circumference and the diameter of a circle is its largest chord.

Your question implies that it could be the radius, diameter or even the chord of a circle in which the diameter is the largest chord of a circle.
Is it possible for a chord of a circle to be the length as the diameter of that same circle?
Absolutely! As long as the chord goes through the center of the circle.

A chord or the circle's diameter.

Is a chord or a diamater longer?
In a circle, there are 1 or more chords, and only always 1 diameter. The diameter goes through the middle point in a circle and connects 2 points on a circle. A chord does not have to go through the middle, but can. The diameter always counts as a chord. So, either, both the chord and diameter are the same length, or the chord is shorter. I hope this answers your question! (:

How do you find a chord of a circle with diameter 26?
There are an infinite number of possible chords in anycircle, regardless of its diameter. A chord is a line segment with its endpoints on the curve (circumference) of the circle. You can draw those all day and never draw the same one twice.
What is a straight line joining any 2 points on an arc or curve or circle?
If the straight line crosses two points of a circle and goes through the center of the same circle it is the diameter. If these conditions are not met it is a chord.
Does a diameter that is perpendicular to a chord bisect the chord?
Yes, any diameter which is perpendicular to a chord bisects said chord. This can be proved most easily with a picture, but is proved using a congruent triangle proof. Both triangles include the points at the center of the circle and the intersection of the diameter and chord. The other points should be the endpoints of the chord. They are congruent by hypotenuse leg; it was given that they are right triangle by the "perpendicular", the "leg" is the segment between the center of the circle and the intersection, and it is equal in both triangles because it is the same segment in both triangles. The hypotenuses are equal because both are radii of the circle. Because the triangles are congruent, their sides must be so the two halves of the chord are congruent, and therefore the chord is bisected by the diameter.
What is the diameter of a circle that is 20 inches long?
The diameter is the same as the length, so it is 20 inches. If you meant to say that the circumference was 20 inches, then divide by pi, which is 3.1416 20 / 3.1416 = 6.4 inches
