Which line segment is a chord?
Any line that touches two points of the circumference is a chord the largest being the circle's diameter.
Which line is a chord?
It is a straight line within a circle that touches two points of the circumference and the largest chord is the circle's diameter.
Is circumference a chord?
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).
What do you call line segment in a circle?
A. If the line segment touches two points on the circle it is called as: 1. secant; if the line extends outside the circle. 2. chord; if the line is present only within the circle. B. If the line segment touches one point on the circle AND the center of the circle AND is present only within the circle it is called as: radius.
A line through the center of a circle from one side to another?
Any line that passes through a circle and touches two points on its circumference is a secant line. (Recall that a line is infinitely long.) The line may or may not pass through the center of the circle, but it is still called a secant line in any case. Compare this to a line segment that has its endpoints on the circumference of the circle. That line segment is called the cord of the circle. If that cord passes through the center of the circle, it is a diameter of the circle, which is the longest cord of that circle.
