Answer:

It is the diameter of the circle

it is 7 cm

it is a chord

Explanation:

First, we notice that the line segment CB passes through the centre of the circle and its endpoints touch the circumference - this tells us that CB is the diameter.

Furthermore, any line segment whose endpoints lie on the circumference of the circle is a chord (meaning that the diameter is the longest chord), and so we deduce that CB is also a chord.

Since CB is the diamter, its length is 2 times the radius. The raduis of the circle we know is DA = 3.5 cm; therefore, the dimater is CB = 2 DA = 2 * 3.5 = 7 cm.

Hence, the correct choices are:

It is the diameter of the circle

it is 7 cm

it is a chord
