In the diagram, point C represents the center of the sphere. Diego says that the part of the sphere labeled D is the radius. Gregoire says that the part of the sphere labeled D is the diameter of the sphere.

A sphere. C is the center and D is the diameter.
Who is correct and why?
Gregoire is correct; the diameter is a chord that passes through the center of the sphere.
Gregoire is correct; the diameter is a chord that is from the center to the surface of the sphere.
Diego is correct; the radius is a chord that passes through the center of the sphere.
Diego is correct; the radius is a chord that is from the center to the surface of the sphere.

Answer:

Gregoire is correct; the diameter is a chord that passes through the center of the sphere.

Explanation:

A sphere is a geometrical shape formed from a circle. Some of its parts are: diameter, center, radius circumference, etc.

The center of a sphere is a point at its middle. The diameter is a straight line, e.g a chord, that is drawn from one point on the circumference of a sphere to another point and passes through its center. While radius is a line that is from the center of the sphere to a point on its circumference.

A diameter is twice of a radius, so that:

Radius =
(Diameter)/(2)

⇒ Diameter = 2 × Radius

Therefore with respect to the question, Gregoire is correct because a diameter is a chord that passes through the center of the sphere.
