Line segment that extends from the center of a circle to its edge?
This line is called a radius.
What is a line that passes through the center of a circle?
Any line that passes through a circle and touches two points on its circumference is a secant line. (Recall that a line is infinitely long.) If the line passes through the center of the circle, it is still called a secant line. Compare this to a line segment that has its endpoints on the circumference of the circle. That line segment is called the cord of the circle. If that cord passes through the center of the circle, it is a diameter of the circle, which is the longest cord of that circle.
What is the name of a line segment that connects the center and point on a circle?
The line segment is the radius of a circle that connects the center of a circle to any point on its circumference.
What is a line segment with its end points on the circumference of a circle?
A line segment with its endpoints on the circumference (curve) of a circle is called a chord of that circle. If it passes through the center of the circle (which it can, but does not have to do), it is called a diameter of the circle. See the links below for more information.Is called a radius.
Segment that has one endpiont at the center and the other endpoint on the circle?
A radius of a circle is a line segment joining the center of the circle to a point on the circle. All such segments have the same length, and this length also called the radius of the circle.
