What else can I help you with?
How do you know that the diameter in a circle is the longest possible chord in the circle?
Because it is a line through the center of the circle and it is impossible for a line that is not through the center to be longer than one that is through the center.
What is a segment that has both endpoints on a circle called?
That's a 'chord' of a circle. If the chord happens to pass through the center of the circle, then it's called a 'diameter', and no chord of the same circle can be longer.
What is the line that joins two points on the circle?
That's a 'chord' of the circle.If it passes through the center of the circle, then it's also called a 'diameter'of the circle, and no other chord of that circle can be longer than it is.
What is a segment that has both endpoints on the circle called?
It's called a "chord" of the circle. If it happens to go through the center of the circle,then it's also called a "diameter" of the circle, and no other chord in the same circlecan be longer.
What name is given to a line segment with endpoints on the circle?
The name is "chord".If the line segment happens to go through the center of the circle, thenit is also given the additional name "diameter", and no other chord in thesame circle can be longer than that one is.
Sketch a circle with two moncongruent chords Is the longer chord father from the center or closer to the center than the shorter chord?
The longer chord is closer to the center of the circle. Chords are only equidistant from the center of a circle if they are congruent. I hope that helps.

Which is longer- the equator or the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn?
tropic of cancer
What is an example of a homocentric?
two like circles have the same center or any concentric circle for that matter but once it becomes eccentric then it is no longer homocentric.
What is the definition of radius?
The radius is the distance from the center of a circle to the circle itself or its perimeter (one half the diameter).The radius is also the name of the smaller of the two bones of the human forearm. The longer, larger bone is called the ulna.
An arc of a circle that is longer than a semicircle of that circle?
Major arc is the longer of two arcs.
What name is given to a line segment with endpoints on the circle?
The name is "chord".If the line segment happens to go through the center of the circle, thenit is also given the additional name "diameter", and no other chord in thesame circle can be longer than that one is.
Why do your vocal chords lengthen?
Puberty. The longer your vocal cords get the deeper your voice.
Is a chord or a diamater longer?
In a circle, there are 1 or more chords, and only always 1 diameter. The diameter goes through the middle point in a circle and connects 2 points on a circle. A chord does not have to go through the middle, but can. The diameter always counts as a chord. So, either, both the chord and diameter are the same length, or the chord is shorter. I hope this answers your question! (:
