Answer 10

you're not looking hard enough

omg line m

yes

Answer 13

is a tangent line m also ?

no, a tangent only touches at 1 spot

yes

Answer 17

okay so a chord and a tangent is the same ?

Answer 18

no

Answer 19

a chord is basically a secant BUT it is a segment with its endpoints on the circle

Answer 20

segment QR?

Answer 21

yeah QR is a chord

Answer 22

since QR is a chord AND it goes through the center P, QR is also a diameter

Note: you can also have a tangent segment in addition with a tangent line
