Brenda thinks that a chord can be many different lengths on a given circle. Is he right?
Yes but a chord cannot be bigger than the circle's diameter which is its largest chord.
When is a Chord a diameter?
The longest chord of a circle is its diameter
Is a radius a chord of a circle?
No, but the diameter of a circle is its largest chord
Is The diameter of a circle is a chord that does not always pass through the center of the circle.?
The diameter of a circle is a circle's largest chord.
Can a chord be in the middle of a circle?
Not sure what you mean by "in the middle of a circle". A chord must have each of its ends on the circumference of the circle. If a chord is such that is passes through the centre point of the circle, it is (the longest chord possible and is) called a diameter. Or to put it another way, a diameter of a circle is a chord which passes through the centre point of the circle.
Can a chord of a circle also be the diameter of the circle?
Sure. Any chord that passes through the center of the circle is also a diameter. Chords can have many different lengths, but a diameter is the longest chord.

What is a segment that has both endpoints on a circle?
A chord of which the circle's diameter is the largest chord
When is a Chord a diameter?
The longest chord of a circle is its diameter
Which is the biggest chord in the circle?
It is the circle's diameter that is the biggest chord.
Is a radius a chord of a circle?
No, but the diameter of a circle is its largest chord
Is the largest chord on a circle the diameter of the circle?
Yes, the largest chord of a circle is its diameter.
What is a chord of a circle that contains the center of a circle?
A chord of a circle that contains the center of the circle is called the diameter.
If a radius of a circle intersects a chord then it bisects that chord?
If radius of a circle intersects a chord then it bisects the chord only if radius is perpendicular to the chord.
What is the longest chord of a circle know as?
The largest chord of a circle is its diameter
What is a chord that passes through the cent of a circle?
A chord is any line segment that connect two points of a circle. If a chord passes through the center of the circle it is called the DIAMETER of the circle. The diameter of any circle is the longest chord of that circle as well.
If a radius of a circle is perpendicular to a chord at what point does it intersect the chord?
The radius of the circle that is perpendicular to a chord intersects the chord at its midpoint, so it is said to bisect the chord.
