Question
### Circle Diagram Analysis **Question: Name a diameter.** #### Diagram Explanation: The provided image features a circle with several labeled points: - **Point C:** The center of the circle. - **Line AB:** A straight line passing through the center (Point C) and reaching the boundary of the circle at Points A and B. This line is a diameter of the circle since it passes through the center and touches the circle at two points opposite each other. - **Line DF:** Another line intersecting the circle, but only passing through two points on the boundary, not through the center. Hence, it's a chord, not a diameter. - **Lines DE and BF:** Appear perpendicular to each other and intersect at Point F. These lines are exterior to the circle and do not touch the center. In this diagram, **Line AB** is the diameter, as it passes through the center point (C) and reaches from one side of the circumference to the other.
