A line segment that divides a circle in two is a chord.
If the two parts of the circle are equal, the line segment is a diameter.
See 'The Parts of the Circle' in Sources and related links, below.
It's a chord, unless the 2 parts are equal, when it becomes a diameter.
It could be the diameter of a circle that produces 2 congruent segments or the midpoint of a line segment
A. If the 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. B. If the line segment touches one point on the circle AND the center of the circle AND is present only within the circle it is called as: radius.

Such a line segment would be a radius of the circle.

The midpoint divides a line segment into congruent parts.
Diameter is a word that describes a line segment that divides a circle in half. A word that rhymes with diameter is "pentameter."

The secant.
A chord is a line segment whose endpoints lie on a circle. A secant is a line (or line segment) that intersects a circle in two places, endpoints NOT on the circle.
The line segment is a radius.
Such a line segment would be a radius of the circle.
The midpoint divides a line segment in half.
what about such a line segment? the length of such a segment is called the radius. the area of the circle is pi*the length of this segment squared the circumference is 2*pi*the length of this segment
