What is a straight line that intersects a curve?
A straight line that intersects a circle or curve at two points, but which has both end points outside the circle or curve is called a secant. A straight line that links two points on a circle or curve is called a chord. A straight line which touches a circle or curve at one point is called a tangent. A straight line that cuts a circle or curve at one point is a straight line.* For moving diagrams see Related links below this box.

What is the diameter circumference?
Diameter is the length of a straight line passing through the center of a circle or sphere and connecting two points on the circumference of the circle or the surface of the sphere. Circumference is the length of the closed curve of a circle.
What is a curve with all its points the same distance from the center?
A circle.
What is the difference between an arc and a chord?
If you take two distinct points on a curve, the arc is the part of the curve connecting the two points while the chord is the straight line connecting them.
What is a straight line joining any 2 points on an arc or curve or circle?
If the straight line crosses two points of a circle and goes through the center of the same circle it is the diameter. If these conditions are not met it is a chord.
What is a straight curve with no end points?
A circle.
What is a straight line that intersects a curve?
A straight line that intersects a circle or curve at two points, but which has both end points outside the circle or curve is called a secant. A straight line that links two points on a circle or curve is called a chord. A straight line which touches a circle or curve at one point is called a tangent. A straight line that cuts a circle or curve at one point is a straight line.* For moving diagrams see Related links below this box.
Whatdoes the word chord mean in math?
It is a straight line joining two different points on a curve which does not cross the curve between those two points.
Does a segment joining any two points on the circle?
Only round the perimeter of the circle (not across its interior) because a segment is a part of a line or curve between two points.
A straight curve with no end points?
You had us baffled at "straight curve" . Could you mean if you start at the north pole, walk in a straight line, you will eventually get back to the north pole and round in a circle. Hence a straight line but no end points.

What is the name of a straight line that connects two points on a circle's circumference?
A chordof a circle is a geometric line segment whose endpoints both lie on the circle. A secantor a secant line is the line extension of a chord. More generally, a chord is a line segment joining two points on any curve, such as but not limited to an ellipse. A chord that passes through the circle's center point is the circle's diameter.
Path that is always a curve?
A circle is a path that is always a curve, as it consists of points equidistant from a fixed central point. This curve does not have any straight segments or corners, maintaining a continuous and curved shape throughout its circumference.
If a straight line intersects with a curve how many points do they have in common?
It depends what kind of curve you're talking about. if it's a circle, and the line is tangent to the circle, then one. If it's a circle, and the line is not tangent to the circle, then two. But if it's a goofy shaped curve then it could be any number. But the most likely answer to your question is 2.
Is circumference a chord?
Not at all! The circumference is the length of the boundary of a circle. A chord is a straight line(or a line segment) that passes through two points on the boundary of a circle (or on a curve).
What is the curve between 2 points in a circle called?
If the curve is part of the circumference of the circle, it is called an arc.
