Can a chord of a circle also be the diameter of the circle?
Sure. Any chord that passes through the center of the circle is also a diameter. Chords can have many different lengths, but a diameter is the longest chord.
What is the radius of a circle in which the longest chord has length y?
longest chord = diameter y = longest chord y = diameter radius = 1/2 diameter therefore, radius = 1/2y
What is a segment that has both endpoints on a circle?
A chord of which the circle's diameter is the largest chord
Why is the diameter the longest chord?
A chord is a straight line from one point on a circle's circumference to another. Because the largest straight line distance in a circle is the diameter and the diameter is also a chord, the diameter is the longest chord. Join the endpoints of a given chord to the center of the circle to form an isosceles triangle. The triangle inequality then tells that the length of the chord is less than two radii of the circle, i.e., less than the diameter. See related links.
Is the diameter the longest chord?
Yes
Why can a chord be a diameter?
because the chord can be determine by the diameter and the diameter can be determine by the chord.
When is a Chord a diameter?
The longest chord of a circle is its diameter
If a diameter is perpendicular to a chord then the diameter bisects?
. . the chord.
Why is a diameter a chord?
A diameter is a chord, because a chord always goes from one point to another in a circle, and a diameter does too.
Why is a diameter always a chord but every chord is not always a diameter?
a diameter is always a chord because a chord always goes from one point of the circle to the other and a a diameter goes from one point to the midpoint
Is a chord a radius?
No but the diameter is a chord.
Is it twice a chord is a diameter?
No because the diameter is the largest chord in a circle but twice its radius is its diameter
Can a chord also be a diameter?
yes.. the largest chord in the circle is the diameter itself..
Is a chord always equal to the lenght of the diameter?
No but the diameter is the largest chord in a circle.
How are a chord and a diameter alike?
A diameter is a chord that passes through the circle's center.
Is the largest chord on a circle the diameter of the circle?
Yes, the largest chord of a circle is its diameter.
A chord of a circle that contains the center of a circle-?
The cord of a circle that contains the center of that circle is a diameter of that circle.
