A chord of a circle is a straight line segment whose endpoints both lie on the circle. 

Generally, a chord is a line segment joining two points on any curve, for instance an ellipse.

Formula to find the length of the chord

Chord
AB  is chord, ∠ACB = ∠C, AC=CB=r

 

Length of the chord = 2r x sin c/2 where r = radius of the circle.
