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.
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.
a straight line with both endpoints lying on an arc or a circle
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.

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
An arc is a part of a circle that is defined by its endpoints. It is a segment of the circumference of the circle.
It is a chord of 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.
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.
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.

A diameter is a segment that passes through the center of a circle and has both endpoints on the circle.

This segment would be the radius of a circle.
