area = PI r2
In math, a diameter is a(n imaginary) line that connects any "side" of the circle to the
other side. (I don't circles don't have sides, but you get the idea.) Here's an example:

oooo

The mathematical term for chord is a line segment connecting any two points on the
circle.
In music, any three (or more) notes sounding together make up a chord. The chords
constitute the harmony of the music, and along with rhythm and tempo, they support
the melody or other musical textures that are sounding along with them.
