Question

Is every diameter of a circle also a chord?

Open in App

Solution

If we join any two points on the circumference, we get a line segment called Chord of the circle.
If a chord passes through the centre of a circle, then it is known as Diameter of the circle.
Yes, every diameter of a circle is also a chord because a chord of a circle is any line segment joining any two points on the circumference of a circle.
