Do all chords go through the origin of a circle?
No. The only chords that go through the center is a diameter.
What is a line through a circle that does not go through the center?
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.
What is the distance around the outside of the circle of water in terms of pi?
First off, what you appear to be asking for is the circumference, the length of area around a circle(or in this case, a body of water). To find the circumference, measure for the diameter, the diameter is the length of one side of a circle to another, this distance must go through the center of the circle. All you have to do is multyply the Diameter by pi.
Does a diameter go all the way across or halfway across a circle?
A diameter goes all the way across a circle through the center. A radius goes half way across, from the center to any point on the circle. So a circle's diameter is two times its radius.All the way through the centre of the circle but the radius only goes half way from the centre of the circle
How is the diameter of a circle represented?
A circle with a straight line through it, usually at an angle, and often with a small dot where the centre of the circle would be (also on the line, to clarify that the line does go through the centre).
