What is a line that goes through a circle?
A line that goes through a circle is a secant line. (Remember that a line is infinitely long.) Anyline that passes through a circle is a secant line, whether it passes through the center of the circle or not. Compare this to a line segment with endpoints on the circumference of a circle. That segment is called a cord of that circle. If the cord of a circle passes through the center of that circle, it is a diameter of that circle, which is the longest cord of the circle.
In the construction of a perpendicular bisector to a given line segment the perpendicular bisector passes through the vertices of two?
Equilateral triangles
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.
A line segment that connects the center of a circle to a point on the circle?
what about such a line segment? the length of such a segment is called the radius. the area of the circle is pi*the length of this segment squared the circumference is 2*pi*the length of this segment
What is a perpendicular bisector of a line segment?
The perpendicular bisector of a line segment AB is the straight line perpendicular to AB through the midpoint of AB.
