Answer:

true.

A chord that passes through the center of a circle is called a diameter and is the longest chord.

Explanation:

A diameter satisfies the definition of a chord, however, a chord is not necessarily a diameter. This is because every diameter passes through the center of a circle, but some chords do not pass through the center. Thus, it can be stated, every diameter is a chord, but not every chord is a diameter.

i hope this helps you. :)
