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,

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)
When is a Chord a diameter?
The longest chord of a circle is its diameter
If a diameter is perpendicular to a chord then the diameter bisects?
. . the chord.
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.
How are a chord and a diameter alike?
A diameter is a chord that passes through the circle's center.

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.
Why can a chord be a diameter?
because the chord can be determine by the diameter and the diameter can be determine by the chord.
When is a Chord a diameter?
The longest chord of a circle is its diameter
If a diameter is perpendicular to a chord then the diameter bisects?
. . the chord.
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! (:
Why is a diameter a chord?
A diameter is a chord, because a chord always goes from one point to another in a circle, and a diameter does too.
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.
Why is a diameter always a chord but every chord is not always a diameter?
a diameter is always a chord because a chord always goes from one point of the circle to the other and a a diameter goes from one point to the midpoint
Is a chord a radius?
No but the diameter is a chord.
Is it twice a chord is a diameter?
No because the diameter is the largest chord in a circle but twice its radius is its diameter
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.
