What defines a chord in geometry?
A chord is a straight line that extends from one point of the circumference of a circle to another point on the circumference and the diameter of a circle is its largest chord
How many times is the circumference bigger than the diameter of a circle?
The circumference of a circle is 3.14159… times, or pi times bigger than its diameter.
What is a line segment that has both endpoints on the circumference?
It is a chord of 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.
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 arc and chord?
An arc is part of the circumference of a circle and a chord is a straight line that meets two points of the circumference with the diameter being the largest chord.

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!
Is a Chord in geometry?
A chord is a straight line joining two points on the circumference of a circle.
Can a chord be different legths on a given circle?
Yes but no bigger than its diameter
If a circle has a diameter of 15 inches can it also have a chord of 20 inches and how?
No. A chord is a straight line drawn between any two points on the circumference of a circle. The longest chord is when the points are on opposite sides of the centre of the circle (and passes through the centre of the circle). The straight line which joins the points on opposite sides of the centre (through the centre) is called the diameter of the circle. Therefore the longest chord possible is the diameter of the circle. A circle with a diameter of 15 in can have a chord with a maximum length of 15 in.
The line segment which touches two points on the circumference is what?
It is a chord of which the circle's diameter is the largest chord.
Where would uu find a chord on a circle?
A chord - is a straight-line joining two points on the circumference. The longest chord is the diameter.
