Answer:

False

Explanation:

A line segment that is connected from any point in the circumference directly connected to the center of the circle is a radius, the radius goes from the center of the circle directly to any point of the circumference, a chord on the circle is a straight line that starts at a point of the circumference and ends in another point of the circumference. So that statement is False.
