Question 14 • Geometry

Which is true regarding chords and diameters of circles?

Answer
A
Chords have two endpoints on a circle. Diameters have one endpoint on a circle and one at the center.
B
Both chords and diameters have two endpoints on a circle. Chords must intersect the center of a circle.
C
Chords have one endpoint on a circle and one at the center. Diameters have two endpoints on a circle.
D
Both chords and diameters have two endpoints on a circle. Diameters must intersect the center of a circle.

Explanation

A chord is a line segment whose two endpoints lie on the circle. A diameter is a special chord: its two endpoints are on the circle, and it passes through the center. Therefore, the true statement is that both have two endpoints on the circle and diameters must intersect the center.
