Best Answer

The mathematical term for chord is a line segment connecting any two points on the circle. In music, any three (or more) notes sounding together make up a chord. The chords constitute the harmony of the music, and along with rhythm and tempo, they support the melody or other musical textures that are sounding along with them.
