Identifying Chords, Secants, Tangents

A chord is a segment that connects ___________

• the center to the endpoint

• to one point outside the circle

• a central angle

• 2 endpoints of a circle

• Secant
  

• Minor Arc

• Tangent

• Radius

If a polygon is circumscribed around a circle, then all sides are_.

• Tangent

• Secant

• Supplementary

• Complimentary

• Congruent

Name a chord.

• Segment XC

• Segment LM

• Segment HJ

• LINE BD

A line that goes through a circle intersecting the circle at two points.

• diameter

• chord

• tangent

• secant

True or false: A diameter is a chord.

• True

• False

Which theorem states that if a diameter is perpendicular to a chord, then the diameter bisects the chord?

• Diameter Bisector Theorem

• Converse of the Diameter Bisector Theorem

If DE is a chord, what do we think the definition of a chord is?

• the same as a radius

• the same as a diameter

• a line segment connecting two points on the circumference of a circle

• a line segment with one point on the circumference and the other point at the center

A tangent to a circle is ________________________ to the radius drawn to the point of tangency.

• congruent

• perpendicular

• complimentary

• supplementary

A tangent intersects the circle at:

• One point

• Two distinct point

• Never intersects

• None of the above
