No. Every circle on the sphere whose center is also the center of the sphere
is a great circle. If the circle's center is not also the center of the sphere, then
the circle is a small circle.

What is a radius circle?
If you mean "what is the radius of a circle", then the answer is the line segment or length from the center of circle to the set of points that form the circle. The radius is also half of the diameter.
Assume that two chords in a given circle are the same distance from the center of the circle Which of the following must also be true?
They must be congruent.
Could you explain the radius of a circle?
The radius of a circle is the distance from the center of the circle to the outer edge Also known as half of the diameter. The diameter is the distance from opposite edges of the circle going through the centre.
What is a segment whose endpoints are on a circle?
A chord. a diameter also has endpoints on a circle, the only difference is a diameter goes through the center point and a chord doesnt have to go through the center. a diameter is considered a chord.
A line segment that extends from one edge of a circle to the other and passes through its center is also its?
It is diameter.
The center of a great circle is also the center of a small circle?
If talking in terms of the shortest distance around a sphere, the answer is NO.
What is difference between great circle and small circle?
A "great circle" is any circle on a sphere whose center is also the center of the sphere. The shortest distance between two points on the surface of a sphere is a piece of the great circle on which both points lie. A "small circle" is any circle on the sphere that's not a 'great' circle.
Can the diameter of a circle pass through the center of a circle?
A diameter of a circle must pass through the center of that circle. A cord is a line segment that has its endpoints on the circumference of a circle. It can be any line segment. If that cord also passes through the center of the circle, it is said to be a diameter of that circle. A diameter of a circle is the longest cord of the circle.
Can a chord of a circle also be a diameter of a circle?
Yes because the diameter of a circle is its largest chord passing through the center of the circle.
Segment that has one endpiont at the center and the other endpoint on the circle?
A radius of a circle is a line segment joining the center of the circle to a point on the circle. All such segments have the same length, and this length also called the radius of the circle.
Does a cord that is a diameter always pass through the center of the circle?
Yes, a cord that is a diameter always passes through the center of a circle. And it's also the longest cord of that circle.
What is a radius circle?
If you mean "what is the radius of a circle", then the answer is the line segment or length from the center of circle to the set of points that form the circle. The radius is also half of the diameter.
Is every chord of a circle also a diameter?
No. The chord is a diameter only if it passes through the center of the circle. In that case,it's also the longest that any chord can possibly be in that 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.
How do you draw a great circle in 3 dimensional sphere?
A great circle is any circle whose center is also the center of the sphere. You could try this way: Spread ink on a sheet of paper. Set the sphere on the paper so that it picks up a mark from the ink, and at the same time, place a mark on the highest point of the sphere. Then draw any circle on the sphere that includes those two points. As we read the question, we were fascinated by the implication that you have spheres with more or less than 3 dimensions.
There are 5 overlapping circles place one of the numbers 1 to 9 in each space so that the total in each circle is the same but you are only allowed to use a number once?
The answer will depend on the configuration of the circles: they could overlap only pairwise - a bit like the Olympic rings, or they could have regions where several circles overlap. One configuration could be as follows. In order to visualize the circles, draw them yourself, following these instructions carefully:- Draw your first circle, maybe about 8cm in diameter. Write '5' in the center. Draw another circle to the left, with its center about 0.5 cms inside the circumference of the 1st circle, ensuring that the '5' is within this second circle. Write a small '1' just right of center of this second circle, and '9' in the open space of this second circle, i.e. to the far left. Draw a lower circle in the same way, with its center about 0.5 cm up from the circumference of the 1st circle, ensuring that the '5' is within this third circle. Write a small '4' just above center of this third circle, and '6' in the open space of this third circle, i.e. at the bottom. Draw a circle to the right in the same way, with its center about 0.5 cm in from the circumference of the 1st circle, ensuring that the '5' is also within this fourth circle. Write a small '3' just left of center of this fourth circle, and '7' in the open space of this fourth circle, to the far right. Finally, draw an upper circle, with its center about 0.5 cm down from the circumference of the 1st circle, ensuring that the central '5' is also within this fifth circle. Write a small '2' just below center of this fifth circle, and write '8' in the above open space of this circle. -------------------- You will have five circles and will have used each number 1 to 9 only once, each within its own space. Your central circle will have 5,1,4,3,2 (total 15) within its boundaries. The left circle will have 9,1,5 (total 15) within its boundaries. The bottom circle will have 5,4,6 (total 15) within its boundaries. The right circle will have 5,3,7 (total 15) within its boundaries. The top circle will have 8,2,5 (total 15) within its boundaries. And all the requirements of this puzzle are fulfilled. -------------------------------------------
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.
