It's called a "chord" of the circle. If it happens to go through the center of the circle,
then it's also called a "diameter" of the circle, and no other chord in the same circle
can be longer.

What is a segment that contains the center of the circle and has both endpoints on the circle known as?
It is the diameter.
What is a line segment that has both endpoints on the circumference?
It is a chord of a circle.
What is a segment that has both endpoints on a circle called?
That's a 'chord' of a circle. If the chord happens to pass through the center of the circle, then it's called a 'diameter', and no chord of the same circle can be longer.
Can a line segment have two endpoints?
Yes. A line segment is always classified by having two endpoints, on both ends of the line.
What is a line passing the center of a circle with both endpoints on the circle?
It is the diameter of the circle.
What is a segment that passes through the center of a circle and has both endpoints on the circle?
A diameter is a segment that passes through the center of a circle and has both endpoints on the circle.
Segment that has both endpoints on the circle?
chord
A line segment with both endpoints on a circle is a?
The correct term for a line segment with both endpoints on a circle is a chord. The diameter of a circle is also a chord.
A line segment with both endpoints on the circle is a?
diameter
What is a segment that contains the center of the circle and has both endpoints on the circle known as?
It is the diameter.
Why is the following a poor definition for a diameter. A diameter is a line segment with both endpoints on a circle.?
Some segments with both endpoints on a circle are not diameters.
What is a segment that has both endpoints on a circle?
A chord of which the circle's diameter is the largest chord
What is a line segment that has both endpoints on the circumference?
It is a chord of a circle.
What is a segment that has both endpoints on a circle called?
That's a 'chord' of a circle. If the chord happens to pass through the center of the circle, then it's called a 'diameter', and no chord of the same circle can be longer.
A chord is a line segment with both endpoints on the circle true or false?
false
A segment that passes through the interior of a circle and has both endpoints on the circle?
That's a chord. The longest possible chord is one that passes throughthe center of the circle. That one is called a "diameter" of the circle.
Is a point the chord of a circle?
No, it is not. A chord is a line segment. It cannot have a length of zero. A point has no dimensions. The chord of a circle is a line segment that has its endpoints (both of them) on the curve (or circumference) of the circle.
