Is a chord always equal to the length of the diameter?
No; actually, the diameter is a chord that goes through the center of a circle.
How many radii does a chord have?
NoneAdditional Information:-Unless it is the diameter of the circle which is its the largest chord then it will have a length equal to two radii (but the chord itself has no radii).
What does diamater mean?
The diameter is the chord (line that goes from the circle to the circle) that goes through the center of the circle. It is the largest chord. It is also equal to twice the radius.
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.
Is the radius always equal to the diameter of a circle?
No, the radius of a circle is always 1/2 of the diameter.
Is the length of the diameter always equal to the length of the radius?
The length of the diameter is always twice the length of the radius.
Why do the tangents drawn at the ends of a chord of a circle make equal angles with the chord?
Because in effect an isosceles triangle has been constructed and the base angles are always equal.
How big is a plank length?
Planck lenght is equal to 1.616252×10−35 meters. 1020 times smaller than the diameter of a proton.
What do you call a line segment that divides the circle in two?
It's a chord, unless the 2 parts are equal, when it becomes a diameter.
What is half a line through a circle called?
Half a line through a circle is called a "diameter" if it passes through the center of the circle, dividing it into two equal halves. If it does not pass through the center, it is referred to as a "chord." A diameter is the longest chord of the circle, while any chord that does not pass through the center is simply a shorter segment of the circle.
What circle ratio is always equal to pi?
Circumference divided by diameter
Are the diagonals of a rhombus equal in lenght?
No. The diagonals of rhombus are not equal.
