Write True or False. Give reasons for your answers.
A chord of a circle, which is twice as long as its radius, is a diameter of the circle.
Options
True
False
Solution
True.
Let AB be a chord which is twice as long as its radius. It can be observed that in this situation, our chord will be passing through the centre of the circle. Therefore, it will be the diameter of the circle.
