Question

Answer 1

Answer 2

Chord :-

• A chord is a line which joins two points on the circle.

Diameter :-

• A diameter is a line which joins two points and passes through the centre of the circle. It is the longest chord of the circle.

Is every chord of a circle also a diameter?

• A diameter is a chord but not every chord of a circle is not diameter.

• A diameter of a circle is the longest chord because it passes through the centre but some chords do not pass through the centre.
