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.

What is a chord in terms of mathematics?
a line that joins two points on a circle
What is a line which joins the two points of circumference and passes through the centre of circle is called?
That's the diameter.
What is the line that joins two points on the circle?
That's a 'chord' of the circle.If it passes through the center of the circle, then it's also called a 'diameter'of the circle, and no other chord of that circle can be longer than it is.
What is the diameter of a circle?
A chord of a circle is a straight line that joins any two points on the circumference of a circle. The diameter of a circle is the length of the chord that passes through the centre of the circle; it is the chord of longest length and is twice the radius of the circle in length.
A line segment that joins two nonconsecutive?
A diagonal from a polygon is a line segment that joins two nonconsecutive points.
