This is referred to as a chord. If the chord passes through the center of the circle, it represents the diameteror width of the circle.

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 the chord of any circle or oval be rounded like the outer edge of the circle or oval?
No, it cannot. A chord of a circle is a line segmentwhich has its endpoints on the curve (or circumference) of the circle. A line segment is part of a line, and a line is straight. It's that simple.

Is the circumference and the diameter the same thing?
Circumference is the perimeter of a circle Diameter of a circle is any straight line segment that passes through the center of the circle and whose endpoints are on the circle
What is a line segment that has both endpoints on the circumference?
It is a chord of a circle.
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 with its end points on the circumference of a circle?
A line segment with its endpoints on the circumference (curve) of a circle is called a chord of that circle. If it passes through the center of the circle (which it can, but does not have to do), it is called a diameter of the circle. See the links below for more information.Is called a radius.

What is a segment whose endpoints are the center of a circle and a point on a circle?
This segment would be the radius of a circle.
What is the definition of diameter?
The diameter of a circle is the length of any line segment drawn through the center of the circle and having endpoints on the line that defines the circumference of the circle. It can also be defined as twice the radius of the circle, with a radius being a line segment with an endpoint at the center of the circle and one on the circumference of the circle.Diameter is a length measurement
