Question

How is length of chord related to length of a diameter

Answer 1

This means that it sweeps out half of the circle so that the chord is actually going across the whole diameter of the circle. So if the chord is going across the diameter and has a length of 15 inches, then the radius of the circle should be 7.5 inches. read more at: https://www.ck12.org/trigonometry/Length-of-a-Chord/lesson/Length-of-a-Chord-TRIG/
