The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to identify the term that describes a specific line segment in relation to a circle. Here’s the step-by-step solution: 1. **Understanding the Circle**: A circle is defined as a set of points that are all at the same distance from a central point, known as the center. 2. **Identifying the Endpoints**: In the question, we are given that one endpoint of the line segment is at the center of the circle, and the other endpoint is on the circumference (the outer boundary) of the circle. 3. **Drawing the Line Segment**: If we visualize or draw a circle, we can mark the center point. Then, we can draw a straight line from this center point to any point on the circle's edge. This line segment connects the center to the circle. 4. **Naming the Line Segment**: The line segment that connects the center of the circle to a point on the circle is known as the "radius." 5. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the answer to the question is that a line segment with one endpoint at the center and the other endpoint on the circle is called a **radius**.

    If a line segment joining mid-points of two chords of a circle passes through the centre of the circle, prove that the two chords are parallel.

    If a line segment joining mid-points of two chords of a circle passes through the centre of the circle, prove that the two chords are parallel.

    Theorem:- If the line segment joining two points subtends equal angles at two other points lying on the same side of the line segment; the four points are concyclic. i.e lie on the same circle.
