What are the attributes of a circle?
diameter, radiys, chord, tanent, secant,
How do you find the radius given the chord length?
If you are given a chord length of a circle, unless you are given more information about the chord, you can not determine what the radius of the circle will be. This is because the chord length in a circle can vary from a length of (essentially) 0, up to a length of double the radius (the diameter). The best you can say about the radius if given the chord length, is that the length of the radius is at least as long has half half the chord length.
What is the length of a biggest chord of a circle of radius 4cm?
It is the diameter which is twice the radius giving a length of 8 cm
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.
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.
Is a radius a chord of a circle?
No, but the diameter of a circle is its largest chord
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.
What is the longest chord of a circle know as?
The largest chord of a circle is its diameter
What is a segment that has both endpoints on a circle?
A chord of which the circle's diameter is the largest chord
Is a chord always equal to the lenght of the diameter?
No but the diameter is the largest chord in a circle.
Can a chord also be a diameter?
yes.. the largest chord in the circle is the diameter itself..
What is a line segment that contains 2 points on a circle?
It is a chord and the largest chord in a circle is its diameter
Can a chord of a circle also be a diameter of a circle?
Yes because the diameter of a circle is its largest chord passing through the center of the circle.
What is a chord which contains the center?
The diameter of a circle is its largest chord
Is it twice a chord is a diameter?
No because the diameter is the largest chord in a circle but twice its radius is its diameter
How are diameter and cord the same?
A chord is a straight line inside a circle that spans its circumference and the diameter of a circle is its largest chord.
What is part of a circle between any of its two points?
It is a chord of which the circle's diameter is its largest chord
