Question

The line segment joining any two points on a circle is called a or an

• A. arc of the chord
• B. radius of the circle
• C. chord of the circle
• D. tangent of the circle

Answer 1

The correct option is C chord of the circle

$\Rightarrow$ A chord is a line segment with both endpoints on the same circle.

$\Rightarrow$ The largest possible chord is always a diameter.

$\Rightarrow$ $A$ and $B$ are points on a circle with center $O.$

$\Rightarrow$ When we join point $A$ and $B$ we get chord $AB$.

$\therefore$ The line segment joining any two points on a circle is called a or a $chordofthecircle.$
