Is a chord of a circle a line segment that connects a point on the circle to its center?
No because that is its radius
A segment that connects the center of a circle to a point on the circle is called?
A segment is not connected to the centre of a circle, it is the area bounded by a Secant (chord) and an arc. Draw a circle, draw a radius (centre to edge). Draw another radius. Where the radii join the circle edje draw a line joining the two points. This is the secant. You should be able to see a triangle and and a half moon shape. The half moon shape is the segment. The segment and the triangle make up a sector.
What is the name of a straight line that connects two points on a circle's circumference?
A chordof a circle is a geometric line segment whose endpoints both lie on the circle. A secantor a secant line is the line extension of a chord.
