What is a segment passing through the center from one side of a circle to the other side?
A diameter.
A line drawn from a part on the circle to any other point without passing the center?
Not including its diameter it is a chord
What is the name of a line drawn from one side of a circle to the other through the center?
This is called the diameter of the line that passes through the center of the circle. Half of that line is called the radius.
What does the term diameter of a circle mean?
Diameter of a circle is a line that goes from one side of the circle, passes through the center of the circle, and touches the other side of the circle. So a circle could have a diameter of length 2 inches, or maybe 7 feet, etc. If the line does not pass through the center of the circle, it is not a diameter.
What is a cord that is drawn from the center of a circle?
A cord that crosses the center of a circle is a diameter, which divides the circle into two equal halves. It is a line segment, and it is the longest cord that can be drawn within a circle.However, if the segment begins at the center rather than crosses through it, and has the other endpoint on the circumference of the circle, it is not a cord, but is a radius of that circle.
What is a segment passing through the center from one side of a circle to the other side?
A diameter.
What is the difference from circumference and diameter?
In the case of a circle: Diameter: The distance through the circle - from one end to the other, passing through the center. Circumference: The distance around the circle.
What is the radiu and diameter of circle?
The radius is the distance from the center to the outside. The diameter is the distance from the outside to the outside, passing through the center - in other words, twice the radius.
Is the mass the same as a diametre?
No. Mass is the weight of an object. Diameter is the distance from one side of a circle or sphere to the other side passing through the center.
What is used to measure a circle?
The most commonly used measure of a circle is its radius, which is the distance from the center of the circle to any point on its circumference. The radius is generally represented by the letter "r". Other measures of a circle include its diameter (the distance across the circle passing through its center) and its circumference (the distance around the circle).
A line drawn from a part on the circle to any other point without passing the center?
Not including its diameter it is a chord
What is the distance across a circle through the center called?
it is called a diameter.The diameter !I think this answers your question:A segment whose end points both rest on the same circle and which passes through the center of the same circle is called the circle's diameter.a line from the edge of a circle through the center to the other side is the diameterRadiusDiameter
Is the distance around a circle called the radius?
No, the distance around a circle is called the circumference. The radius is the distance from the exact center of the circle to the edge of the circle and is one half of the diameter. The diameter is one straight line passing through the center of the circle from one end to the other. The circumference can be determined from the following equation: C = pi * d or C = 2*pi*r
How every circle has unique diameter?
That means that a given circle doesn't have two or three diameters. For a given circle, there is a unique measurement, called its "diameter". It is the distance from one end to the other, passing through the center. Since the circle is defined as all the points that are at the same distance from a point (the center), all radii are the same distance; and the diameter is simply twice the radius.
What is the name of a line drawn from one side of a circle to the other through the center?
This is called the diameter of the line that passes through the center of the circle. Half of that line is called the radius.
Does a tangent circle pass through the center of the circle?
If the tangent circles are outside of one another, then neither passes through the center of the other. If one circle is within the other, then the inner tangent circle might contain the center point of the larger circle. There will be infinitely many inner tangent circles that do not.
What is a straight line through the center of a circle from one end to the other?
It is called the diameter. The line that goes halfway through the circle is the radius.The length of a straight line through the center of a circle is called the diameter. Any other object I'm not sure has a name; perhaps the length...width...or height
