Easy math help!! Find the secant? I tried EB but it isn't right. http://media01.switchedononline.com/a_matgeo_2010/10/tancir.gif

OpenStudy (zepp):

EB is right D:

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

BC is the secant... its a line passing through a circle.... EB is a chord

OpenStudy (zepp):

AC is the tangent; BA is the diameter; OD is the radius; EA and BE are chords and BC is the secant.

Well, technically it all depends on what sign they're putting above EB. If it's a line symbol, then EB is a segment. If it's a segment symbol, then it's a chord. I'm guessing, if this was a multiple choice question, one of the choices was EB with a segment symbol (wrong) and another choice was CB with a line symbol (right).

It was a fill in the blank question. BC is the secant. Thanks so much! :D
