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. More generally, a chord is a line segment joining two points on any curve, such as but not limited to an ellipse. A chord that passes through the circle's center point is the circle's diameter.
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.
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 any line segment connecting two points of a circle?
a chord of the circle
The point of concurrency for perpendicular bisectors of any triangle is the center of a circumscribed circle true or false?
The perpendicular bisector of ANY chord of the circle goes through the center. Each side of a triangle mentioned would be a chord of the circle therefore it is true that the perpendicular bisectors of each side intersect at the center.

So, you have learned that a chord is a line segment that connects any two points on the edge of a circle, and that the most special chord is the diameter, which also goes through the center point of the circle and is the longest chord.
