A chord of a circle is a section of a straight line whose ends both fall on an arc of a circle. The diameter of a circle is the point at which the chord intersects the center of the circle.
(a) A chord of a circle is any line segment that connects two locations on the circumference of the circle, hence every diameter of a circle is also a chord.
(b) Because the diameter cuts through the center of the circle, every chord of a circle is not a diameter. Therefore, every chord in a circle is not a diameter, and every diameter in a circle is also a chord.
