Question

Give an example of each term using the diagram.

Answer 1

Radius: AC
Tangent: EA
Chord: DA
Center: C
Diameter: AB
Secant: DA

Answer 2

ohh the chord and secant are/can be the same?t.... so what exactly is the difference between a chord and secant?

Answer 3

A chord should have its endpoints on the circle. Whereas a secant is a line (not a line segment, thats what a chord is) cutting circle at any 2 points.

Answer 4

So AD isnt a chord, most probably. Its a secant. AB is a chord.

Answer 5

yea i thought ab was a chord and a diameter originally.... guess i should always go with my first instinct.

Yeah.
