Question:
16.The diameter of a circle is twice the length of a radius?
17. The longest chord in a circle is the diameter.
18. We can draw a circles with different sizes but have the same center.
19. The length of every chord in a circle is always greater than the length of a radius.
20. If a circle has a radius of 12m, then the measurement of the diameter is 6m.
Answer:
16. True
Explanation:
The diameter of a circle is a single line segment that stretches the entire width of the circle, intersecting with the center point and two points around the circumference. The diameter measures how wide the circle is, and is always equal to twice the radius (2r).
17. True
Explanation:
A chord that passes through the center of a circle is called a diameter and is the longest chord.
18. True
Explanation:
we can have an overlapping circle with the same center
19. False
Explanation:
See that the radius really does remains constant. But the chord can be as long as the diameter and as short as if the endpoints are touching each other. Thus, the length of every chord in a circle is NOT ALWAYS greater than the radius.
20. False
