What is the Formula for calculating chord length?
Assume you mean the chord of a circle? If the angle between the two radii from the ends of the chord is A, and the radius of the circle is R, the chord length L will be L = 2RsinA/2. You can prove this easily by joining the point bisecting the chord to the centre, you then have two rightangled triangles, with an included angle of A/2, and an opposite side of L/2. So sinA/2 = L/2R.
How many radi in a circle?
There are an infinite number of radii in a circle.
How many radii of a circle will equal its circumference?
Well, the equation for finding the circumfrence of a circle is (diameter)(pi). That is diameter times pi. since the diameter of a circle is 2 radii, we can say that there is 2(pi) radii in a circle.
Brenda thinks that a chord can be many different lengths on a given circle. Is he right?
Yes but a chord cannot be bigger than the circle's diameter which is its largest chord.
What is an area of a circle bounded by two radii?
Working in degrees, the angle of the greater radius, minus the lesser radius, all over 360, gives the proportion of the area of the circle that is bounded by the radii. This can then be multiplied by the area of the whole circle to give the bounded area.
How many radii a sphere have?
There are infinite radii in a sphere.

Why is the diameter the longest chord?
A chord is a straight line from one point on a circle's circumference to another. Because the largest straight line distance in a circle is the diameter and the diameter is also a chord, the diameter is the longest chord. Join the endpoints of a given chord to the center of the circle to form an isosceles triangle. The triangle inequality then tells that the length of the chord is less than two radii of the circle, i.e., less than the diameter. See related links.
How many degree does radii have?
18.5 million :)
Does a diameter that is perpendicular to a chord bisect the chord?
Yes, any diameter which is perpendicular to a chord bisects said chord. This can be proved most easily with a picture, but is proved using a congruent triangle proof. Both triangles include the points at the center of the circle and the intersection of the diameter and chord. The other points should be the endpoints of the chord. They are congruent by hypotenuse leg; it was given that they are right triangle by the "perpendicular", the "leg" is the segment between the center of the circle and the intersection, and it is equal in both triangles because it is the same segment in both triangles. The hypotenuses are equal because both are radii of the circle. Because the triangles are congruent, their sides must be so the two halves of the chord are congruent, and therefore the chord is bisected by the diameter.
How many radii can you draw in a circle?
Infinitely many.
How many radiuses does a circle have?
The plural of 'radius' is 'radii', not 'radiuses'. A circle has an infinite number of radii, but they are all of the same length.
How many radii equal one diameter?
2
How many notes make a chord?
Usually there are three notes to make a definable chord.
What is the formula to calculate the radius of a segment knowing the height of the segment and cord length?
Assume that the height of the segment is h, the chord length is c and the radius is r then: r2=(r-h)2+(c/2)2 (We join two radii to the two ends of the chord then extend the height of the segment to the center of the circle in which the segment is inscribed so this height will bisect the chord and you use the pythagorean theorem to find the radius)
