When is a Chord a diameter?
The longest chord of a circle is its diameter
Is the diameter of a circle also a chord?
Yes.
How is a diameter a chord and a chord not a diameter?
Every chord is a line on the inside between two points on the circle. A diameter does that, so it's a chord. But in order to be a diameter, a chord also has to meet another requirement ... it has to go through the center of the circle. A lot of chords don't do that, so they can't be diameters.
What is the name of the chord that is a diameter?
The diameter of a circle could also be called the longest chord in that circle.A chord is any straight line that connects two points on a curve. A circle has a near infinite number of chords that can be drawn between any two points around its circumference.Any chord that passes through the middle of the circle, making it the longest chord possible in the confines of the circle, is also known as the diameter of the circle.So, every diameter is a chord, but not every chord is a diameter.
Is a diameter also a chord with reason...?
Yes because a chord is a straight line joining any two points on the circumference of circle and the diameter is the largest chord in a circle
