Is the following statement true or false?
Every diameter of a circle is chord.
Justify your answer using what you know about diameters and chores. Your teacher will review your answer to ensure you receive proper credit.
True.
A diameter is a line segment that passes through the center of a circle and has both endpoints on the circle.
A chord is a line segment that connects two points on a circle.
Since a diameter passes through the center of a circle, it also passes through any two points on the circle (which would be the endpoints of a chord). Therefore, every diameter of a circle is a chord.
