Which is a secant of circle A?

Mathematics
1 answer:
sergey [27]3 years ago

Answer: line CD (fourth choice)

====================================================

Let's go through the choices one by one

1) Segment AB is a radius, which is not a secant line. We can rule this out.

2) line DE is a tangent line which only touches the circle at exactly one spot. We need something that cuts the circle in 2 spots for it to be a secant line. This can also be crossed off the list.

3) segment HG is a chord, which is fairly close to a secant line, but it must extend infinitely in both directions. In other words, it needs to be a line instead of a line segment. This is crossed off the list.

4) line CD is a secant line. It is a geometric line in that it goes on forever in both directions (it's not a segment, and not a ray either). Also, this line crosses the circle at 2 points, which contrasts it from a tangent line. This is the answer we want.

NikAS [45]

Answer:

17. a)

Step-by-step explanation:

17.

f(x) =x/2, then f(x-3)=(x-3)/2

x=3, f(x-3)=f(3-3)=f(0)=0 (values in table)

f(x-3)+3=0+3=3

18.

f(x) =x/2

f(x-2) for x=5 is f(5-2)=f(3)=3/2

f(x-2)+5=f(3)+5=3/2+5=3/2+10/2=13/2

If the two angles of the triangle are equal. Well yes, because if the angles are both 50 degrees then the other angle will be 30. but it also depends on the shape of the triangle if they differ.
