What an chord in math?
In geometry, the line segment that goes from one point to the other point where a line intersects a circle.
What is diameter in geometry?
diameter refers to the area across a circle through its center. it is the longest chord possible for any given circle.
How do you work out the radius of a circle from a chord?
This is hard to explain without a diagram, but draw a circle with a chord through it. Now draw a line from the center of the circle to the center of the chord and you'll have a right angle. Draw the hypotenuse of this new right triangle, which just happens to be the radius. I took geometry last year, so I'm kind of stuck at this point, but I know you have to work with that right triangle.
