There is no chord that is always smaller since, in the limit, the chord reaches a single point on the circumference - when it it is no longer a chord!

Is The diameter of a circle is a chord that does not always pass through the center of the circle.?

The diameter of a circle is a circle's largest chord.


Is a diameter always a chord in a circle?

Yes, a diameter is a chord that passes through the center of a circle.


Is a chord always equal to the lenght of the diameter?

No but the diameter is the largest chord in a circle.


Is diameter always a chord?

Well, a diameter in a circle is a line that is symmetrical and runs through the center. A chord DOES NOT run through the center of any cirlcle. So, in all usual senses NO. A chord always sections off a "corner" of a circle. my opinion is no because a chord always sections of a circle.


Why is a diameter always a chord but every chord is not always a diameter?

a diameter is always a chord because a chord always goes from one point of the circle to the other and a a diameter goes from one point to the midpoint


Why is a diameter a chord?

A diameter is a chord, because a chord always goes from one point to another in a circle, and a diameter does too.


Does a chord always sometimes or never passes through the center of the circle?

A chord does not always pass through the center of the circle; it only does so in specific cases. A chord that is also a diameter of the circle passes through the center. However, other chords can exist within the circle that do not intersect the center. Thus, a chord can sometimes pass through the center, but it is not a requirement.


Is a chord or a diamater longer?

In a circle, there are 1 or more chords, and only always 1 diameter. The diameter goes through the middle point in a circle and connects 2 points on a circle. A chord does not have to go through the middle, but can. The diameter always counts as a chord. So, either, both the chord and diameter are the same length, or the chord is shorter. I hope this answers your question! (:


Is a chord always equal to the length of the diameter?

No; actually, the diameter is a chord that goes through the center of a circle.


Which dimensions of a circle is always smaller than the other two?

A circle's radius is always smaller than both its diameter and its circumference.


In a circle the perpendicular bisector of a chord must pass through the center of the circle?

Yes, in a circle, the perpendicular bisector of a chord does indeed pass through the center of the circle. This is because the perpendicular bisector of a chord divides it into two equal segments and is equidistant from the endpoints of the chord. Since the center of the circle is the point that is equidistant from all points on the circle, it must lie on the perpendicular bisector. Thus, any chord's perpendicular bisector will always intersect the center of the circle.


What is a segment that has both endpoints on a circle?

A chord of which the circle's diameter is the largest chord
