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.
A straight line going through the center of a circle connecting two points circumference?
The 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 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.
What is a line segment connecting 2 points on a circle?
A chord
How do you do diameter on a half circle?
The only diameter would be a line segment connecting the end points of the half-circle arc.
What is a line segment connecting any two points on a circle?
A line segment connecting any two points on a circle is called a chord. Chords can vary in length depending on the distance between the two points, and the longest chord in a circle is the diameter, which passes through the center of the circle. Chords play a significant role in various geometric properties and theorems related to circles.
What line segment that connects any two points or three points on the circle?
The line segment that connects any two points on a circle is called a chord. If you connect three points on the circle, the segments connecting them form a triangle inscribed within the circle, known as a cyclic triangle. The longest chord of a circle is the diameter, which connects two points on the circle and passes through its center.
A line segment that intersects with two points on a circle is called what?
A line segment that intersects with or joins two points on a circle is called a chord.
What is a part of a circle between two points on the circle?
The line connecting the points is called a chord; the part of the perimeter of the circle enclosed is called an arc; the area between an arc and the chord is called a circular segment.
A segment with end points of the circle?
if that line segment intersects the centre of the circle it is called a radius.
How do you draw segment?
Two points with a single line connecting them.
Is the chord of a circle a line segment connecting any point of the circle to the center of the circle?
No. That's a radius.
What is a line segment chord?
A chord is a line segment which connects any two points on a circle.
If a segment connecting two points is horizontal you can find the distance between the points by?
When a line segment connecting two points is horizontal the length of the segment can be found by finding the absolute value of the difference in x-coordinates of the two points.
What is a line segment whose endpoints are points of the circle?
That's a "chord" of the circle.
