What is the chord of a circle?

Take any circle and draw a straight line through it anywhere so that the line intersects the circle at two distinct points. The segment between the two points on the circle is the chord. A diameter, that is, a line segment through the center, could be a chord. But any shorter segment drawn through the circle and intersecting the circle at those two distinct points is a chord. It's just that simple. Need a link? You'll find one below.


If A line segment drawn from the center to any point on the circle it is called?

A line segment drawn from the center of a circle to any point on the circle is called a radius. The radius is constant for a given circle and is crucial in defining the circle's size. All points on the circumference of the circle are equidistant from the center, with this distance being the length of the radius.

What is the cord of a circle?

A cord of a circle is any line segment connecting any two unique points on the curve. Any cord drawn through the center of the circle will be a diameter of the circle. These cords will be the longest cords that can be drawn, and any one of them can bisect the circle into two identical parts.


What is the relationship between the length of a tangent and a secant?

The relationship between the length of a tangent and a secant in a circle can be described using the tangent-secant theorem. According to this theorem, if a tangent segment is drawn from a point outside the circle to a point of tangency, and a secant segment is drawn from the same external point to intersect the circle at two points, then the square of the length of the tangent segment equals the product of the lengths of the entire secant segment and its external segment. Mathematically, if ( T ) is the length of the tangent and ( S ) is the length of the secant, the relationship can be expressed as ( T^2 = S \cdot (S - P) ), where ( P ) is the length of the part of the secant inside the circle.


What is the relationship between a triangle and chords in geometry?

In geometry, a chord is a line segment that connects two points on a circle. In a triangle, chords can be drawn connecting the vertices of the triangle to create a circumscribed circle that passes through all three vertices. This circle is called the circumcircle of the triangle.


A line segment drawn from the center of the circle to any point?

radius


What is a cord that is drawn from the center of a circle?

A cord that crosses the center of a circle is a diameter, which divides the circle into two equal halves. It is a line segment, and it is the longest cord that can be drawn within a circle.However, if the segment begins at the center rather than crosses through it, and has the other endpoint on the circumference of the circle, it is not a cord, but is a radius of that circle.
