A line segment that divides a circle in two is a chord.
If the two parts of the circle are equal, the line segment is a diameter.

What do you call a line segment that divides the circle in two?
It's a chord, unless the 2 parts are equal, when it becomes a diameter.
What divides a segment into 2 congruent sides?
It could be the diameter of a circle that produces 2 congruent segments or the midpoint of a line segment
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.
What do you call the line segment passes through the circumference of a circle?
the diamater you goobers
What is a line segment with on endpoint on a circle and the other endpoint at the center?
Such a line segment would be a radius of the circle.

A point that divides a line segment into two equal parts?
The midpoint divides a line segment into congruent parts.
What rhymes with diameter?
Diameter is a word that describes a line segment that divides a circle in half. A word that rhymes with diameter is "pentameter."
What do you call a line segment that passes through the center of a circle and touches two points on the circle?
The secant.

A segment with endpoints on a circle?
A chord is a line segment whose endpoints lie on a circle. A secant is a line (or line segment) that intersects a circle in two places, endpoints NOT on the circle.
What are points that divide a segment in half?
The midpoint divides a line segment in half.
What is a line segment with one endpoint at the center of a circle and the other endpoint on the circle or the length of that segment?
The line segment is a radius.
A line that divides a line segment into 2 congruent parts?
bisecting
