No. The only chords that go through the center is a diameter.
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.
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.
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
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).
