If the straight line crosses two points of a circle and goes through the center of the same circle it is the diameter. If these conditions are not met it is a chord.
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.
A chord. The diameter is technically a chord goes through the middle point.
It is the circle's diameter
Hey,Yes and no.A chord is any straight line that starts and ends on the circle. If a chord goes through the center of the circle then it is a diameter.Hope this helps,Toby
The diameter of a circle is the length of a straight line that goes through the exact center of a circle. The radius of a circle is the length of a straight line that starts at the exact center and reaches the circle. The radius is half the length of the diameter.
A straight line connecting two points on a circle is a "Chord". If the chord goes through the center of the circle, it is called, "Diameter".
It is called the diameter. The line that goes halfway through the circle is the radius.The length of a straight line through the center of a circle is called the diameter. Any other object I'm not sure has a name; perhaps the length...width...or height
If the straight line crosses two points of a circle and goes through the center of the same circle it is the diameter. If these conditions are not met it is a chord.
the cord that passes through the center of the circle is known as the diameter, the whole circle on the out side is known as the circumference, the dot in the middle is known as the center and the radius is the line what goes half way through the circle from the diameter.
it goes straight through the MIDDLE lol it would look funny if it had a line of symmetry down the middle :):):):):)

Any straight line that starts on the circle, ends on the circle, and goes through the center, is a diameter. There's no limit to the number of different diameters you can draw, all in the same circle, but they're all the same length. It's the longest possible straight line that you can draw inside the circle. It's the distance 'across' anything shaped like a circle.
If a chord goes thru the center of a circle, it is the diameter
