This is called the diameter of the line that passes through the center of the circle. Half of that line is called the radius.
If you mean a line that gous from the center of a circle to the edge of the circle, that is a radius.
yes half of that line is called the radius (used to calculate the area of a circle)
A line that goes through a circle is a secant line. (Remember that a line is infinitely long.) Anyline that passes through a circle is a secant line, whether it passes through the center of the circle or not. Compare this to a line segment with endpoints on the circumference of a circle. That segment is called a cord of that circle. If the cord of a circle passes through the center of that circle, it is a diameter of that circle, which is the longest cord of the circle.
Radius is half the diameter. The diameter of a circle is a straight line that passes from one side of the circle to the other through the centre of the circle. Half of that line is the radius.
