What is a chord in the context of a circle?

• A curve inside the circle

• A line intersecting the circle at one point

• A segment passing through the center

• A line segment with both endpoints on the circle

What defines a diameter of a circle?

• A radius multiplied by three

• A segment connecting non-consecutive points

• A line outside the circle

• The longest chord of the circle

What is a tangent to a circle?

• A circular path inside the circle

How do you solve for x when given the equation 2c squared plus 9c plus 6 equals 9c plus 14?

• Divide all terms by 2

• Isolate c squared and solve the quadratic equation

• Subtract 9c from both sides and solve

• Add 14 to both sides and simplify
