If a radius of a circle is perpendicular to a chord at what point does it intersect the chord?
The radius of the circle that is perpendicular to a chord intersects the chord at its midpoint, so it is said to bisect the chord.
Why is a diameter a chord?
A diameter is a chord, because a chord always goes from one point to another in a circle, and a diameter does too.
What is a chord on a circle?
A chord is a straight line from one distinct point on the circle to another. The diameter is a special chord, the longest one and the only one that passes through the center.
Why is a diameter always a chord but every chord is not always a diameter?
a diameter is always a chord because a chord always goes from one point of the circle to the other and a a diameter goes from one point to the midpoint
What is the difference between diameter and a chord?
A chord is any line segment going from one side of the circle to another. A diameter is a special chord - it is a chord that goes through the center of the circle. It is also the biggest chord possible in the circle. So all diameters are chords, but not all chords are diameters
