Answer:

The answers are CD, JS, and CT.

Explanation:

Even though CT is a diameter, it is still a chord because a diameter is a special chord: It's the longest chord of a circle, it has 3 collinear points, and it passes through the center of a circle.

The definition of "chord" is: a straight line segments whose endpoints both lie on the circle.

You might be wondering: how is JS a chord? Well, this is why.

Since this shape is 3-D, not 2-D, then the endpoints of a chord can be anywhere on the actual sphere, not inside it, and not outside of it. It this would be a 2-D shape, or a circle, then JS would not be a chord because its endpoints aren't on the actual circle. But since this shape is a sphere, JS is a chord. I hope I explained it fine. Sorry if it's confusing.

CD is a chord because both of its endpoints are on the sphere.

By the way, I did this assignment, and I got it wrong because I did only CD and CT, not CD, JS, and CT. But now I understand why I got it wrong, and I hope you understand, too! :)
