Identify a chord of circle C.
A) segment AC
B) segment XY
C) segment CB
D) segment BE

Answer 1

please help !!!

Answer 2

a chord has to touch two points on the circle but it usually doesnt pass through the center point

Answer 3

if it does then it is called the diameter, so XY would be a chord, so would BE and AD

Answer 4

AD and XY are both chords of the circle
a chord that passes through the center is also called the diameter

Answer 5

BE would only be a chord if it had a line drawn from B to E. So the answer must be XY (i.e. B)
