In a circle, there are 1 or more chords, and only always 1
diameter. The diameter goes through the middle point in a circle
and connects 2 points on a circle. A chord does not have to go
through the middle, but can. The diameter always counts as a
chord.
So, either, both the chord and diameter are the same length, or
the chord is shorter.
I hope this answers your question! (:
