What is a straight line from the centre to the edge of a circle called?
A straight line from the center of a circle to the outer edge is called a radius.
What is a straight line that intersects a curve?
A straight line that intersects a circle or curve at two points, but which has both end points outside the circle or curve is called a secant. A straight line that links two points on a circle or curve is called a chord. A straight line which touches a circle or curve at one point is called a tangent. A straight line that cuts a circle or curve at one point is a straight line.* For moving diagrams see Related links below this box.
You are a straight line that join 2 points on the circumference of a circle?
The name of a straight line joining two points on the circumference of a circle is a chord.If the line passes through the the centre of the circle it is called a diameter
What is a straight line that touches a circle in one place is called?
It is called a tangent.
What is the straight line from the center of a circle to the outside called?
that is the radius. the diametre is the line going right accross the middle of the circle
Straight line from the center of a circle to the outside diameter is called?
A line segment with the center of a circle as one endpoint and the other endpoint on the circumference of the circle is a rdius of that circle.
What is radius equals 12 inches?
Every circle has a point called the centre. A straight line drawn through the centre and extending both ways to intersect with the circle at opposite points is called the diameter. A straight line drawn from the centre to intersect with one point of the circle is called the radius. In this case, the length of that straight line is 12 inches.
What is a straight line joining points on a circle?
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.)
Is the circle or straight line on?
A straight line touching the circumference of circle at one point is a tangent

What is the name of a straight line from the centre to the edge of a circle?
