What is the difference between radius and chord of the circle ?

Difference between Radius and Chord :

We have to differentiate the radius and chord.

Radius	Chord
Radius intersects the circle only in one point.	Chord is a line segment intersecting the circle in two points.

Out of the two concentric circles, the radius of the outer circle is 5 cm and the chord AC of length 8 cm is a tangent to the inner circle. Find the radius of the inner circle.
What is the difference between sector and segment of a circle?
A chord of a circle is equal to the radius of the circle. Find the angle subtended by the chord at a point on the minor arc and also at a point on the major arc.
$ A B $ is a chord of a circle with centre $ O $ and radius $ 4 \mathrm{~cm} . A B $ is of length $ 4 \mathrm{~cm} $. Find the area of the sector of the circle formed by chord $ A B $.
Fill in the blanks:The longest chord of a circle is a ……… of the circle.
The radius of a circle is $8\ cm$ and the length of one of its chords is $12\ cm$. Find the distance of the chord from the centre.
The area enclosed between the concentric circles is $770\ cm^2$. If the radius of the outer circle is $21\ cm$, find the radius of the inner circle.
A chord of a circle of radius $ 14 \mathrm{~cm} $ makes a right angle at the centre. Find the areas of the minor and major segments of the circle.
Find the length of a chord which is at a distance of $4\ cm$ from the centre of the circle of radius $6\ cm$.
Write True or False: Give reasons for your answers.(i) Line segment joining the centre to any point on the circle is a radius of the circle.(ii) A circle has only finite number of equal chords.(iii) If a circle is divided into three equal arcs, each is a major arc.(iv) A chord of a circle, which is twice as long as its radius, is a diameter of the circle.(v) Sector is the region between the chord and its corresponding arc.(vi) A circle is a plane figure.
Prove that a diameter of a circle which bisects a chord of the circle also bisects the angle subtended by the chord at the centre of the circle.
Find the length of a chord which is at a distance of $5\ cm$ from the centre of a circle of radius $10\ cm$.
