What name is given to any line segment that connects the center to a point on a circle?

That's a radius of the circle.


What is a straight line through a circle not going through the middle?

a chord. i took geometry this year. here are some other things that way help. Circle- a set of points that are equidistant from the center of the circle Diameter- a line segment that passes through the center point and has its endpoints on the circle. Radius- a line segment that connects from the center point to the circle Chord- a line segment that has its endpoints on the circle. Arc- a section of the circle's outer points. Semicircle- half of a circle. Central Angle- an angle that has its' vertex as the center point of the circle. Inscribed Polygon- a polygon that has all its' vertexes on the circles outer points. kk :-)


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.


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 line segment whose endpoints are on the circle passing through the center point?

Diameter.
