In the given figure we have a circle with center J.

By definition, the radius is the distance from its center to a point located on the circle.

a) In the given figure, a radius is JI

A diameter is a chord that passes through the center of the circle and it is twice the radius.

b) A diameter is KL.

A chord is a segment that connects two points on a circle.

c) A chord is HM.

d) If the length of JI (remember this is a radius) is 2 units, then the length of KL is twice this value: 2*2units= 4 units.
