Answer 1

The correct statement about the diameter of a sphere is:

The diameter of a sphere passes through the center of the circle.

To elaborate:

1. The diameter is a chord, specifically the longest chord of the sphere.
2. The diameter is not 2.5 times the length of the radius; it is actually 2 times the length of the radius (Diameter = 2 × Radius).
3. The diameter is not the shortest length on a sphere; there are other shorter chords.
4. The diameter does indeed pass through the center of the sphere.
