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 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.
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 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 segment passing through the center from one side of a circle to the other side?
A diameter.
What is the line that joins two points on the circle?
That's a 'chord' of the circle.If it passes through the center of the circle, then it's also called a 'diameter'of the circle, and no other chord of that circle can be longer than it is.

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
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.
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

What is a segment passing through the center from one side of a circle to the other side?
A diameter.
What is a chord of a circle?
A chord of a circle is a line segment drawn from any point on the curcumference of the circle to any other point on the circumference of the circle. The chord may pass through the center of the circle, in which case it is the diameter of the circle. The length of the chord will less than or equal to the diameter of the circle but greater than zero. If you draw a circle and start drawing chords, you'll quickly discover that there are an infinite number of unique chords that can be drawn in that circle. A link can be found below, and you can gather more information with the "click" of your mouse.
What is a line segment that extends from one edfe of a the circle to the other and passes through its center?
diameter
How many tangents can be drawn from a single point?
Two tangents can be drawn from a point outside a circle to the circle. The answer for other curves depends on the curve.
A line segment that extends from one edge of a circle to the other and passes through its center is also its?
It is diameter.
