It could be an arc (a curved portion of the circumference), a chord (the straight line distance between two points) , or a wedge (the plane area bounded by two radii and an arc).Remember the circle is a plane figure, not the curved line we draw. " A circle is bounded ... ."
A chord and the diameter is the largest chord of a circle. A2. Remember, the circle is the bit inside the curved line, NOT the curved line. [A circle is bounded by ... .] From any two points on a circle, you could erect a variety of lines, of which the shortest for any given quest would be a straight line. The other natural line joining two points would be the arc joining two points on the perimeter of a circle. * * * * * Actually, I believe that a circle IS the curved line. A circle is defined as the locus of all points that are at a constant distance from a fixed point (the centre). This is the boundary of the circle, not its interior.
A circle has one curved line and it is its circumference
I may be outdated, but when I was in school we called that a line segment. I am assuming u mean a straight line. If it is a circle or other curved line, it is called an arc.
A curved shape does not have any straight lines. In a circle the line curves continually, meaning that the circle is a curved shape.
