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 straight line that joins two points on the circumference of a circle?

A chord is a line that joins to points on the circumference of a circle. If it passes through the center of the circle it's called a diameter.

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.

A chord i think? Sorry if its wrong, I'm not good at this stuff:(


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.


Is the radius of a circle a chord also?

No. A chord is a straight line joining two points on the circumference of a circle whereas a radius joins only one point on the circumference to the circle centre. A diameter is a straight line joining two points on the circumference (via the circle's centre) and so is also a chord. (Yes, but the question is about a radius, not a diameter!)


A line segment that joins two nonconsecutive?

A diagonal from a polygon is a line segment that joins two nonconsecutive points.


Can a chord be a radius?

Assuming that the question was meant to be about a chord (not chrod) and radius (not radious), the answer is no. A chord is a line joining two points on the circumference of a circle. One end of a radius is on the circumference but the other is at the centre.
