What is a line segment that is intersecting but not perpendicular?
skew
What is a line that is perpendicular to the line segment intersecting the line segment at its midpoint?
perpendicular bisector
What is a line intersecting a line segment at its midpoint called?
A bisector.
What happens to a chord when it leaves a circle?
It becomes a line intersecting the circle.
Are chords diameters?
By definition, diameters are lines that reach all the way across the circle, crossing the middle point. The definition of a chord is a line segment that stretches across a circle intersecting at two points that does not cross the middle point. Chords are not diameters, for the property that makes a line segment a diameter is the intersection with the middle point. If the line segment is a diameter, then it automatically means that it is not a chord, for in essence, they are opposite.
What is a line segment that is intersecting another line segment or line?
intersecting lines
What is a line segment that is intersecting but not perpendicular?
skew
What are intersecting line segments?
an intersecting line segment is when two line segments cross together
What is a segment in a circle?
A segment of a circle is known as an arc.A segment of a circle is called a arc.A segment of a circle is known as an arc.
What is the chord of a circle?
Take any circle and draw a straight line through it anywhere so that the line intersects the circle at two distinct points. The segment between the two points on the circle is the chord. A diameter, that is, a line segment through the center, could be a chord. But any shorter segment drawn through the circle and intersecting the circle at those two distinct points is a chord. It's just that simple. Need a link? You'll find one below.

A segment with end points on the circle?
A segment with end points on a circle is a chord.
What is a segment with ended points on the circle?
A segment with end points on a circle is a chord of that circle.
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.
