Not at all!

The circumference is the length of the boundary of a circle.

A chord is a straight line(or a line segment) that passes through two points on the boundary of a circle (or on a curve).

Is the circumference bigger than the chord?

Yes, the circumference of a circle is always larger than any chord that connects two points on the circle, except for the diameter, which is the longest chord. The circumference represents the total distance around the circle, while a chord only spans the distance between two points within that circle. Thus, for any chord that is not a diameter, the circumference will be greater.


Can a chord become a tangent?

No because a chord is a small part of the circumference and a tangent is a line outside of the circle that touches the circumference at a single point.


What is the chord of a circle that is always smaller?

There is no chord that is always smaller since, in the limit, the chord reaches a single point on the circumference - when it it is no longer a chord!

Why can't a radius be a chord?

Because a chord is a line between two points on the circumference; a radius starts at the circumference and ends at the centre, so it doesn't fit the criteria.


Is it true that every chord of a circle contains two points of the circle?

well its true that every chord contains two points of the circumference of a circle 'cos a chord is the straight line between two points on the circumference


A radius is a chord of a circle?

No. A chord is a straight line within a circle that meets the circumference at two points and divides the circle into two arcs. A radius is a straight line from the centre of the circle to the circumference and is therefore not a chord. However, a diameter is a chord passing through the centre of the circle.
