Does the perpendiculare bisector of a cord pass through the center of the circle?
Yes. The perpendicular bisector of a chord forms a radius when extended to the centre of the circle and a diameter when extended beyond the centre to the opposite point on the circumference.
Find the equations of the lines that are tangent to the ellipse x squared plus y squared equals sixteen and that also pass through the point x equals 4 and y equals 6?
This is not possible, since the point (4,6) lies inside the circle : X2 + Y2 = 16 Tangents to a circle or ellipse never pass through the circle
Is it necessary for a graph to pass through 0?
No
Do the diagonals of a rhombus bisect the angles through which they pass?
Yes
How many lines can pass through 2 points?
1
Can the diameter of a circle pass through the center of a circle?
A diameter of a circle must pass through the center of that circle. A cord is a line segment that has its endpoints on the circumference of a circle. It can be any line segment. If that cord also passes through the center of the circle, it is said to be a diameter of that circle. A diameter of a circle is the longest cord of the circle.
Do all chords of a circle pass through the center of a circle?
No, not all chords of a circle pass though the center of that circle. Any cord that does pass through the center of the circle is called diameter of that circle.
Do diameters pass through the center of a circle?
Yes a diameter will ALWAYS pass through the center
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.
Does a cord that is a diameter always pass through the center of the circle?
Yes, a cord that is a diameter always passes through the center of a circle. And it's also the longest cord of that circle.
Does a secant line pass through the center of a circle?
No, a secant line does not pass through the center of a circle. A secant line is a line that intersects a circle in two distinct points. Only a line passing through the center of a circle is called a diameter.
All chords of a circle pass through the center of a circle?
Not true because only the largest chord passes through the center of a circle which is its diameter
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.
Do all diameters pass through the center of a circle?
Yes. In geometry, a diameter of a Circleis any straight Line_segmentthat passes through the center of the circle and whose endpoints are on the circle.
When does a secant of a circle pass through the center of the circle?
The secant of a circle passes through the center of a circle sometimes
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.
The line segment whose end points are on a circle is?
In general, a "chord", but the particular set of chords that pass through the center are called diameter.
