Do all chords of a circle pass through the center of a circle?
No, not all chords of a circle pass though the center of that circle. Any cord that does pass through the center of the circle is called diameter of that circle.
Can there be a finite number of chords that can be created in a circle?
Generally, no. All circles contain an infinite number of chords, as a chord can be created between any two points on the circle. With an infinite number of points on the circle we can create an infinite number of chords.
What is the length of a chord in a circle?
chords inside circles can be any length from the diameter to almost zero length.
An arc is any connected piece of a circle's curvature?
True
One radius of a circle is the same length as any other radius of the same circle?
true (apex
What is a true about any two congruent chords in a circle?
They are equidistant from the center of the circle.
Do all chords of a circle pass through the center of a circle?
No, not all chords of a circle pass though the center of that circle. Any cord that does pass through the center of the circle is called diameter of that circle.
What is the number of a circle that has two chords?
It can have any number that you like.
Can there be a finite number of chords that can be created in a circle?
Generally, no. All circles contain an infinite number of chords, as a chord can be created between any two points on the circle. With an infinite number of points on the circle we can create an infinite number of chords.
How many chords can be a diameter?
There are an infinite number of diameters to any circle...
What is the distance chords are from the center of a circle?
Any value from 0 to the magnitude of the radius.
If any two chords are perpendicular do they bisect each other?
Only when one of them is the circle's diameter which is the circle's largest chord.
What is the length of a chord in a circle?
chords inside circles can be any length from the diameter to almost zero length.
Can a chord of a circle also be the diameter of the circle?
Sure. Any chord that passes through the center of the circle is also a diameter. Chords can have many different lengths, but a diameter is the longest chord.
What is a chord of a circle?
A chord of a circle is a line segment drawn from any point on the curcumference of the circle to any other point on the circumference of the circle. The chord may pass through the center of the circle, in which case it is the diameter of the circle. The length of the chord will less than or equal to the diameter of the circle but greater than zero. If you draw a circle and start drawing chords, you'll quickly discover that there are an infinite number of unique chords that can be drawn in that circle.

Is it true that a circle is bisected by any polygon?
No.
A chord of a circle is any line segment whose endpoints are on the circle?
True
