What is a line segment that has both endpoints on the circle?
This is referred to as a chord. If the chord passes through the center of the circle, it represents the diameteror width of the circle.For a circle, the length of the diameter is the longest possible length of a chord.
What is the diameter of a circle?

If a circle has a diameter of 15 inches can it also have a chord of 20 inches and how?
No. A chord is a straight line drawn between any two points on the circumference of a circle. The longest chord is when the points are on opposite sides of the centre of the circle (and passes through the centre of the circle). The straight line which joins the points on opposite sides of the centre (through the centre) is called the diameter of the circle. Therefore the longest chord possible is the diameter of the circle. A circle with a diameter of 15 in can have a chord with a maximum length of 15 in.
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.
