    E is the only one not true. While it is true that a diameter is made of 2 radii, any 2 radii may not be lined up to form a diameter.

    E is not true because you can draw two radii that don't form a straight line across the circle.

  • the statement "e" is false the diameter of a circle is which passes through the center of the circle and it is supposed to touch both the ends of circle ,its the longest chord.

    d because a chord can be shorter than the diameter because the diameter is the longest line on a circle.
