What is a chord of a circle that goes through the center of a circle?
It is the circle's diameter
What is a cord that goes through the center of a circle?
A chord that passes through the center of a circle is its diameter.
Is a chord always equal to the length of the diameter?
No; actually, the diameter is a chord that goes through the center of a circle.
What is a line that goes through a circle from top to bottom?
A line that goes through a circle is a secant line. (Remember that a line is infinitely long.) Anyline that passes through a circle is a secant line, whether it passes through the center of the circle or not. Compare this to a line segment with endpoints on the circumference of a circle. That segment is called a chord of that circle. If the chord of a circle passes through the center of that circle, it is a diameter of that circle, which is the longest chord of the circle.
Is a diameter the same as a chord?
Hey,Yes and no.A chord is any straight line that starts and ends on the circle. If a chord goes through the center of the circle then it is a diameter.Hope this helps,Toby

Is it possible for a chord of a circle to be the length as the diameter of that same circle?
Absolutely! As long as the chord goes through the center of the circle.
What does diamater mean?
The diameter is the chord (line that goes from the circle to the circle) that goes through the center of the circle. It is the largest chord. It is also equal to twice the radius.

No; actually, the diameter is a chord that goes through the center of a circle.
What is a segment whose endpoints are on a circle?
A chord. a diameter also has endpoints on a circle, the only difference is a diameter goes through the center point and a chord doesnt have to go through the center. a diameter is considered a chord.

Is a segment with endpoints on a circle?
A chord. The longest possible chord is one that goes through the center of the circle. That has a special name ... it's called the 'diameter' of the circle.
A line that goes from one side to the other side of the circle but not the centre?
a chord. The chord that passes through the center of the circle has a special name: the diameter.
What is a line joining two points on the circle?
A straight line connecting two points on a circle is a "Chord". If the chord goes through the center of the circle, it is called, "Diameter".
