Which best describes the diameter of a circle?

A. The distance from the center to any point of the circle
B. The length of a chord that contains the center of the circle
C. The distance around the circle
D. The length of a chord that does not contain the center of the circle

Answer 1

The correct answer is:

B) The length of a chord that contains the center of the circle

Step-by-step explanation:

A chord is a segment that goes across a circle, with both endpoints on the circle.

A diameter goes through the center of a circle and has both endpoints on the circle; this makes it a chord that goes through the center.
