a chord of the circle
A straight line connecting two points on a circle is a "Chord". If the chord goes through the center of the circle, it is called, "Diameter".
A straight line connecting two points on the circumference of a circle
The diameter.
Diameter.
A "chord" in geometry is the line connecting two points on a circle. If you think if a pie slice, the chord is the outer crust.
divide the diameter(the length of a straight line passing through the center of a circle and connecting two points on the circumference)by 2
The line connecting the points is called a chord; the part of the perimeter of the circle enclosed is called an arc; the area between an arc and the chord is called a circular segment.
A chord line intersects a circle at two points of which the circle's diameter is its largest chord.
A straight line joining points on a circle is called a "chord" of that circle. If the line happens to pass through the center of the circle, then it's a "diameter" of that circle. The question asked about "points" on a circle, so two points on the circumference of that circle are being considered. (No line can join more than two points of a circle.)
Diam refers to the length of a straight line connecting two points on the circumference of the circle and passing through the center.
A chord is a line which connects two points which lie on a circle.
