Circles Part 1

What is the difference between a tangent line and a secant line?

• A secant intersects the circle twice; a tangent touches the circle once

• A tangent intersects the circle twice; a secant touches the circle once

• A secant goes through the center of the circle; a tangent does not

• A secant is outside the circle; a tangent is inside the circle

Match the following part of the circle with its correct label.

• Tangent Line

• Point S

• Radius

• Center

• Diameter

• Chord
