What is the chord of a circle?
Take any circle and draw a straight line through it anywhere so that the line intersects the circle at two distinct points. The segment between the two points on the circle is the chord. A diameter, that is, a line segment through the center, could be a chord. But any shorter segment drawn through the circle and intersecting the circle at those two distinct points is a chord. It's just that simple. Need a link? You'll find one below.
How do you get a radius?
# Find the center of the circle # Draw the line of the radius from the center to the circumference # Finish
How do you find the area of a circle without knowing the radius?
If the circumference or diameter is given then you can find the radius or simply measure the distance from the centre of the circle to the circumference.
How do you find the diameter of a sphere?
R (radius) X2. The radius is half the circle from the center of the circle. The diameter is just straight across.
How do you find the center of the circle?
-- Draw any two random chords of the circle. -- Construct the perpendicular bisector of each chord. -- The perpendicular bisectors intersect at the center of the circle. All of this can be done with a compass, an unmarked straight-edge, and a pencil.
