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!)

If a radius of a circle intersects a chord then it bisects that chord?

If radius of a circle intersects a chord then it bisects the chord only if radius is perpendicular to the chord.


If a radius of a circle is perpendicular to a chord then?

Then the radius bisects the chord.


Is a radius a chord of a circle?

No, but the diameter of a circle is its largest chord


If a radius of a circle is perpendicular to a chord at what point does it intersect the chord?

The radius of the circle that is perpendicular to a chord intersects the chord at its midpoint, so it is said to bisect the chord.


In math how do you found the chord in a circle?

A chord is when two points in a circle are connected by segment. A diameter is a chord, but not a radius. The radius is not a complete segment in the circle


What is the relationship between the chord and the radius of circle?

The relationship between the chord and the radius of the circle is Length of the chord = 2r sin(c/2) where r = radius of the circle and c = angle subtended at the center by the chord


How is a chord different from the radius?

a chord is a line between two points on the circle the radius is a line from the center to the circle

Perpendicular.


Is a radius is a chord of a circle?

No, a radius connects the center of a circle the a point on the outside, a chord connects to points on the outside of the circle. Thanks for asking on


What does diamater mean?

The diameter is the chord (line that goes from the circle to the circle) that goes through the center of the circle. It is the largest chord. It is also equal to twice the radius.


A radius of a circle is perpendicular to a chord if and only if?

Bisects that chord
