Semi-circles
No, not all chords of a circle pass though the center of that circle. Any cord that does pass through the center of the circle is called diameter of that circle.
Half a line through a circle is called a "diameter" if it passes through the center of the circle, dividing it into two equal halves. If it does not pass through the center, it is referred to as a "chord." A diameter is the longest chord of the circle, while any chord that does not pass through the center is simply a shorter segment of the circle.
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.
No, a secant line does not pass through the center of a circle. A secant line is a line that intersects a circle in two distinct points. Only a line passing through the center of a circle is called a diameter.
This is called the diameter of the line that passes through the center of the circle. Half of that line is called the radius.

No, the cord of a circle does not have to go through the center of that circle. A chord that does go through the center of a circle is a special case and is called the diameter. A chord can connect any two points on a circle.
The distance through the center of a circle is called the diameter.
it is called a diameter.The diameter !I think this answers your question:A segment whose end points both rest on the same circle and which passes through the center of the same circle is called the circle's diameter.a line from the edge of a circle through the center to the other side is the diameterRadiusDiameter

This is the diameter of the circle.

It's called the diameter.
