What is a chord that passes through the cent of a circle?
A chord is any line segment that connect two points of a circle. If a chord passes through the center of the circle it is called the DIAMETER of the circle. The diameter of any circle is the longest chord of that circle as well.
Is every chord of a circle also a diameter?
No. The chord is a diameter only if it passes through the center of the circle. In that case,it's also the longest that any chord can possibly be in that circle.
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
A line segment drawn between two points on a circle?
Chord.

What is the longest chord of any circle?

What is the name of the chord that is a diameter?
The diameter of a circle could also be called the longest chord in that circle.A chord is any straight line that connects two points on a curve. A circle has a near infinite number of chords that can be drawn between any two points around its circumference.Any chord that passes through the middle of the circle, making it the longest chord possible in the confines of the circle, is also known as the diameter of the circle.So, every diameter is a chord, but not every chord is a diameter.
If a circle has a diameter of 15 inches can it also have a chord of 20 inches and how?
No. A chord is a straight line drawn between any two points on the circumference of a circle. The longest chord is when the points are on opposite sides of the centre of the circle (and passes through the centre of the circle). The straight line which joins the points on opposite sides of the centre (through the centre) is called the diameter of the circle. Therefore the longest chord possible is the diameter of the circle. A circle with a diameter of 15 in can have a chord with a maximum length of 15 in.
What is the longest chord of a circle?

Can a chord of a circle ever be longer than the diameter?

What is the longest chord of the circle?

What is a chord that passes through the cent of a circle?
