If a line segment touches two points on the circle it is called as:
1. secant; if the line extends outside the circle.
2. chord; if the line is present only within the circle.
Diameter is a line which satisfies the second condition hence it is a chord.
The additional condition for a chord to be known as diameter is that the chord should pass through the center of the circle!
What else can I help you with?
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.
Can a chord also be a diameter?
yes.. the largest chord in the circle is the diameter itself..
How are a chord and a diameter alike?
A diameter is a chord that passes through the circle's center.
A chord of a circle that contains the center of a circle-?
The cord of a circle that contains the center of that circle is a diameter of that circle.
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.

. . the chord.
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.
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
Can a chord also be a diameter?
yes.. the largest chord in the circle is the diameter itself..
Is a chord always equal to the lenght of the diameter?
No but the diameter is the largest chord in a circle.

A chord of a circle that contains the center of a circle-?
The cord of a circle that contains the center of that circle is a diameter of that circle.
