Question

What do you know about chords that are equidistant rom the center of the circle?
A. They are secants
B. They are tangent
C. They are parallel
D. They are congruent

Answer 1

do you know what equidistant means?

Answer 2

Nope! I never heard of the term. XD Does it mean equal?

Answer 3

hahahahaha it means that all the points/lines are equally distant from the center of the circle

Answer 4

I'm doing Geometry online, so I'm working a fast pace because I'm trying to finish the program by today

Answer 5

ahhh ok well lets look at your options first do you know what it means if they are tangent?

Answer 6

I learned an acronym for it, but I don't remember it..

Answer 7

if they are tangent that means that the lines are just touching the circle. Therefore you can rule that out

Answer 8

Oh okay. Would it be parallel then?

Answer 9

ok so if they are parallel they never touch and never cross.

Answer 10

so this is one of the options for an answer lets look at the others shall we as a process of elimination

Answer 11

do you know what it means if they are congruent?

Answer 12

It means that they're the same. Same shape, same size, etc.

Answer 13

What does secant mean?

Answer 14

exactly so we can rule that out.

Answer 15

Secant means that they are crossing so what does that mean?

Answer 16

That C is the answer, right??

Answer 17

yes it was but i wanted you to learn the terms sense you aren't just taking the program for nothing.

Answer 18

Oh okay. Thank you so much! I didn't pass Algebra freshman year, and I passed last year, but I want to catch up so that way I can take Alg 2 this year, so I'm doing geometry online

Answer 19

you are a huge help thanks!!

Answer 20

The big terms throw me off a lot and sometimes confuse me

Answer 21

ahh so you are in high school i took geometry 6 years ago. im at a university right now so let me know if you need help i finished all the math levels up to differential equations aka Calc 4

Answer 22

Whoah :O Congratulations!! That's a huge accomplishment!

Answer 23

Yeah, I'm gonna need a lot of more help... haha

Answer 24

yeah no kiddin... hahahaha i have had plenty of sleepless night figuring out some of this stuff and i will be glad to help. Just dont expect me to just hand you answers hahahahaha or else you wont learn.

Answer 25

Ik :) Cause that would be cheating. I'm trying to learn all this stuff so that way next year, math won't be as hard.

Answer 26

yep so anything else you got a problem with cause i am studying chemical engineering so i can help with math, science (specificall chemistry but anything else is good), and physics

Answer 27

Thanks again :) I tagged you in another question

Answer 28

ok see you around
