a chord. i took geometry this year. here are some other things that way help.
Circle- a set of points that are equidistant from the center of the circle
Diameter- a line segment that passes through the center point and has its endpoints on the circle.
Radius- a line segment that connects from the center point to the circle
Chord- a line segment that has its endpoints on the circle.
Arc- a section of the circle's outer points.
Semicircle- half of a circle.
Central Angle- an angle that has its' vertex as the center point of the circle.
Inscribed Polygon- a polygon that has all its' vertexes on the circles outer points.

A straight line passing from side to side through the center of a circle or sphere?
A straight line passing from side to side going through the middle of a circle or sphere is a diameter.
What is a straight line going across a circle from side to side through the centre?
diameter
Diameter of circle?
360 degrees * * * * * That is a nonsensical answer. The diameter of a circle is a straight line segment, going from the circumference of the circle, through the centre, to the circumference on the other side.
How do you find the curcumfrence of a 14 cm circle?
Circumference is (pi x diameter of circle). (Diameter is the distance across the circle, going through the very centre. It is also twice the radius, which is the distance from the middle of the circle to the outer edge). In the question you don't indicate what the 14cm is (i.e. diameter/radius ?), so I can't work it out for you.
Could you explain the radius of a circle?
The radius of a circle is the distance from the center of the circle to the outer edge Also known as half of the diameter. The diameter is the distance from opposite edges of the circle going through the centre.
A straight line passing from side to side through the center of a circle or sphere?
A straight line passing from side to side going through the middle of a circle or sphere is a diameter.
What does the radius and diameter have in common?
They both describe a circle. The radius is the length from the middle of the circle to the edge. The diameter is the length of a straight line going through the middle of the circle edge to edge.
What is the straight line from the center of a circle to the outside called?
that is the radius. the diametre is the line going right accross the middle of the circle
Meaning of diameter in a circle?
The diameter of a circle is the length of the circle from one side to the other, going through the middle of the circle. The radius is the measurement of length from the middle of the circle to the perimeter of the circle. This is half of the diameter.
What is a straight line going across a circle from side to side through the centre?
diameter
What is diameter of a circle?
The diameter of a circle is a straight line going from one point on its boundary, through the centre of the circle, to the boundary on the other side.
The diameter of a circle?
The diameter of a circle is a straight line going from one point on the circumference (the boundary) of the circle, through the centre of the circle, to another point on the circumference.
A straight line going through the center of a circle connecting two points circumference?
The diameter.
Diameter of circle?
360 degrees * * * * * That is a nonsensical answer. The diameter of a circle is a straight line segment, going from the circumference of the circle, through the centre, to the circumference on the other side.
What is the length of 27 inches in diameter?
Wait, what? I believe diameter is the measurement straight across the middle of a circle, not a unit of measurement. So if a circle were to be 27 inches in diameter, it would be 27 inches from one side of the circle to the other, with the line going exactly through the center of the circle. Basically, cutting the circle in half.
How do you draw a basketball?
draw a circle then a half circle on the side and another one on the other side. then make an "x" in the middle but going straight up and down. like a cross
How do you divide a circle into third equally?
you make a peace sign without the middle line going completely through
