What is a line passing through the center of a circle with both end points on the circle called?
This is a line segment called a diameter of the circle.
What is a straight line joining points on a circle?
A straight line joining points on a circle is called a "chord" of that circle. If the line happens to pass through the center of the circle, then it's a "diameter" of that circle. The question asked about "points" on a circle, so two points on the circumference of that circle are being considered. (No line can join more than two points of a circle.)
What is straight is part of a line and has to endpoints?
Segement
How many points are 4cm from a given line and 4 cm from a point on that line?
There are an infinity of points 4cm from a given line. These points form 2 lines parallel to and either side of the original line. Equally, there are an infinite number of points 4cm from a given point on the original line. These points lie on the circumference of a circle radius 4cm with its centre at the given point. There are only 2 points that fulfil both conditions. These points are found on the circumference of the circle where a diameter perpendicular to the original line and passing through the given point meets the circumference of the circle. These two points are also where the two parallel lines form tangents with the circle.
How can you prove that the line between to points is a tangent of the smaller circle?
Step I: Show that both points are outside the smaller circles. Possibly by showing that distance from each point to the centre of the circle is greater than its radius. Step 2: Show that the line between the two points touches the circle at exactly one point. This would be by simultaneous solution of the equations of the line and the circle.
Can a line segement have holes or missing points?
No, because then it would become many line segments.
What does a line look like?
a line is a straight, never ending line segement without two points at the end. For example: _________________________ . That is a line.
Can line segement have two mid points explain?
midpoint means the middle of a segment, there can't be two different point on a segment that are both in the middle. so no !!
What is a line passing through the center of a circle with both end points on the circle called?
This is a line segment called a diameter of the circle.
Line passing through the center of a circle with both end points on the circle?
That's a diameter of the circle.
What is a line segement?
A line segement is a line that starts at one point and ends at another. It has two endpoints.
What is a chord in geometry?
A straight line connecting two points on the circumference of a circle

How many points do you need to name a ray segement?
Just like line segments or lines, you just need two points to name them. Line ---.-----.-----------------.--------------> A B C D Line= AB Line= BC Ray= CD
What is A line segment drawn through the center of the circle with endpoint on the circle?
A line segment drawn through the centre of a circle and having endpoints on the circumference of that circle is called the diameter. Notably, a line segement with one endpoint at the centre of the circle and one anywhere on the circumference of the circle is called the radius, and is exactly half the length of the diameter.
Can a circle pass through three points of a straight line?
No, a circle can never pass through three points of a straight line. The circle will touch 1) no points of the line, 2) one point of the line (which is now tangent to the circle), or 3) two points of the line. A line can contain (at most) twopoints that lie on the line.
What is a straight line that intersects a curve?
A straight line that intersects a circle or curve at two points, but which has both end points outside the circle or curve is called a secant. A straight line that links two points on a circle or curve is called a chord. A straight line which touches a circle or curve at one point is called a tangent. A straight line that cuts a circle or curve at one point is a straight line.* For moving diagrams see Related links below this box.
