Question

What is the name of a line segment that has endpoints on the circle and does not pass through the circle’s center? Option 1: a chord Option 2: a diameter

Answer 1

The correct option is **Option 1: a chord**. A chord is a line segment with endpoints on the circle, while a diameter is a specific type of chord that passes through the center of the circle. Since the line segment in question does not pass through the center, it is referred to as a chord.
