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?

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 shape is a sqaushed circle and has no straight edges?
A squashed circle is an ellipse. An ellipse is a smooth, closed curve that resembles an elongated circle and has no straight edges. It can be defined as the set of all points for which the sum of the distances from two fixed points (foci) is constant.
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).
