-- Take the information you're given, such as, for example, the circle's radius or

diameter, and the distance from the center of the circle to the chord's midpoint.

-- Jot down a few things you know about circles and right triangles, such as the

relationship between the radius, diameter, and circumference of a circle, and the

Pythagorean Theorem.

-- Use what you're given, combined with what you know from your studies and

your general knowledge, to calculate what is required.

Can the diameter of a circle pass through the center of a circle?

A diameter of a circle must pass through the center of that circle. A cord is a line segment that has its endpoints on the circumference of a circle. It can be any line segment. If that cord also passes through the center of the circle, it is said to be a diameter of that circle. A diameter of a circle is the longest cord of the circle.
