What is being represented in the image?

• Chords

• Tangents

• Exterior Angle

• Central Angle

What is H?

• Point of Tangency

• Radius

• Circle

A segment whose endpoints lie on a circle is a _______.

• tangent

• chord

• diameter

• secant

A line in the same plane as a circle that intersects the circle at exactly one point is a ____________.

• tangent

• secant

• chord

• radius

Which connects ANY 2 points on the circle but doesn't have to go through the center?

• Radius

• Diameter

• Chord

Identify a chord.

• RT

• LT

• WL

• LR

AB is tangent to the circle.

• TRUE

• FALSE

Can a secant be a tangent?

• yes they are both the same line

• yes they are both parts of a circle

• No secant intersects twice and tangent intersects once

• No they both have nothing to do with circles

What is the difference between a secant and a tangent

• A tangent is a line and a secant is a line segment

• A tangent passes through a circle once and a secant passes through the circle twice.

• A secant and a tangent are both chords but a tangent goes through the center of the circle

• A secant passes through the circle once and a tangent passes through the circle twice.

What is in the picture?

• Two tangents

• Two Secants

• Two Chords

• One Secant and One Tangent
