A line segment with the center of a circle as one endpoint and the other endpoint on the circumference of the circle is a rdius of that circle.

The radius of a circle is one half of the circle's diameter, any line going from the center of the circle to the circle itself. A line connecting other points on a circle (or on any curve) is called a chord.
what is the name of a smooth curved line around the outside of a regular polygon
In a straight line. From the center to the outside of a circle.
That's called a radius.
The radius is a line from the center of the circel to any point on the outside of the circle.
A line through a circle that does not go through the center of the circle is a secant line. A line through a circle that does go through the center is still a secant line, by the way. Compare this to a line segment that has its two endpoints on the circumference of the circle. That line segment is a cord of the circle. If that cord of the circle passes through the center of the circle, then the cord is a diameter of that circle.
The Circumference of a circle is the distance around the outside of the circle. The Radius is the length of a line from the Center out to the Edge and ... The Diameter is the length of a line that passes through the Center from one Edge of the circle to the Edge on the opposite side.
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.
No, a secant line does not pass through the center of a circle. A secant line is a line that intersects a circle in two distinct points. Only a line passing through the center of a circle is called a diameter.
