To find the radius of a circle, measure the distance from the center to any point on the circumference. The diameter is twice the radius, which can be calculated as ( d = 2r ). A chord is a line segment connecting two points on the circumference; its length can be determined using various methods, including the Pythagorean theorem if the circle's center and the endpoints of the chord are known.

Is a chord a radius?

No but the diameter is a chord.


What is the radius of a circle in which the longest chord has length y?

longest chord = diameter y = longest chord y = diameter radius = 1/2 diameter therefore, radius = 1/2y


Is it twice a chord is a diameter?

No because the diameter is the largest chord in a circle but twice its radius is its diameter


How do you find radius of a circle if cord length is given?

The longest chord in a circle is its diameter and halve of this is its radius.


Is a radius a chord of a circle?

No, but the diameter of a circle is its largest chord


How do you find the radius of a circle if you know the length of a chord is 4 cm length?

Unless the chord is the diameter, there is no way to measure the radius of the circle. This is because the radius is in no way dependent on chord length since circles have infinite amount of chord lengths.


How do I find the diameter of a circle with the chord length?

To find the diameter of a circle given the chord length, you can use the relationship between the chord length (c), the radius (r), and the distance (d) from the chord to the circle's center. The formula is ( c = 2 \sqrt{r^2 - d^2} ). Rearranging this to find the radius, you can first calculate ( r = \sqrt{\left(\frac{c}{2}\right)^2 + d^2} ). Once you have the radius, the diameter ( D ) is simply ( D = 2r ).


How do you find the radius given the chord length?

If you are given a chord length of a circle, unless you are given more information about the chord, you can not determine what the radius of the circle will be. This is because the chord length in a circle can vary from a length of (essentially) 0, up to a length of double the radius (the diameter). The best you can say about the radius if given the chord length, is that the length of the radius is at least as long has half half the chord length.


In math how do you found the chord in a circle?

A chord is when two points in a circle are connected by segment. A diameter is a chord, but not a radius. The radius is not a complete segment in the circle


What is the length of a biggest chord of a circle radius three eighths inch?

The biggest chord is the diameter which is radius*2 and so three quarters of an inch.

What is it when the point that is the same distance from all the points of a circle?

Your question implies that it could be the radius, diameter or even the chord of a circle in which the diameter is the largest chord of a circle.
