What is a line through a circle called?
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 the word for a line segment that connects two points on a circle and passes through the center?
It is the diameter of the circle
What are pi and radius?
Pi - the circumference of a circle over the diameter of a circle. Pi is constant and will always be 3.14. Radius - any line segment in a circle that extends from the center of the circle to the perimeter of the circle. Radius is half the diameter.
A line segment that extends from one edge of the circle to the other edge of the circle is a?
A chord
True or False A secant is a line or segment that passes through a point on the circle and the center of the circle?
False
What is a segment that extends from the center of the circle to a point on the circle?
Radius
What is a line segment that extends from one edfe of a the circle to the other and passes through its center?
diameter
What is a segment that passes through the center of a circle and has both endpoints on the circle?
A diameter is a segment that passes through the center of a circle and has both endpoints on the circle.
Line segment that extends from the center of a circle to its edge?
This line is called a radius.
A line segment that extends from the center of a circle to the outside edge?
That's called a radius.
What is the segment that passes through the center of circle?
It is the diameter of the circle.
What do you call a segment that passes through the center of a circle?
The major segment.
What is a line through a circle that does not go through the center?
A line through a circle that does not go through the center of the circle is a secant line. A line through a circle that does go through the center is still a secant line, by the way. Compare this to a line segment that has its two endpoints on the circumference of the circle. That line segment is a cord of the circle. If that cord of the circle passes through the center of the circle, then the cord is a diameter of that circle.
Segment through the center of a circle with endpoints on the circle?
That's a "diameter" of the circle.
Can the diameter of a circle pass through the center of a circle?
A diameter of a circle must pass through the center of that circle. A cord is a line segment that has its endpoints on the circumference of a circle. It can be any line segment. If that cord also passes through the center of the circle, it is said to be a diameter of that circle. A diameter of a circle is the longest cord of the circle.
What is a segment from two points on a circle which passes through the center of the circle?
It is the circle's diameter
A line segment that passes through the center of a circle and has endpoints on the circle?
the answer is the diameter
