Why is the following a poor definition for a diameter. A diameter is a line segment with both endpoints on a circle.?
Some segments with both endpoints on a circle are not diameters.
Is a point the chord of a circle?
No, it is not. A chord is a line segment. It cannot have a length of zero. A point has no dimensions. The chord of a circle is a line segment that has its endpoints (both of them) on the curve (or circumference) of the circle.
Can a line segment have 2 endpoints?
a line segment is part of a line that does not continue infinetely. therefore it has endpoints on both sides. by default a line segment has 2 endpoints, it is not a question if it 'can' have 2 endpoints.
What is a line segment whose endpoints are the center of a circle and any point on the circle?
radius
A part of a line with endpoints on both ends is a(n)?
line segment
A line segment with both endpoints on the circle is a?
diameter
A segment with endpoints on a circle?
A chord is a line segment whose endpoints lie on a circle. A secant is a line (or line segment) that intersects a circle in two places, endpoints NOT on the circle.
What is a line segment that has both endpoints on the circumference?
It is a chord of a circle.

A chord is a line segment with both endpoints on the circle true or false?
false
What is a line segment that endpoints are on a circle?
They are chords.
A line segment with endpoints on a circle?

A chord of a circle is any line segment whose endpoints are on the circle?
True
A line segment that passes through the center of a circle and has endpoints on the circle?

A chord of a circle is a line segment whose endpoints are on the circle and center?
false
