Which is a secant of circle A?

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.

2.4 + 5.4q – 4.5q + 3.6<br><br> a.6+1.1q<br> b.9.9q+6<br> c.0.9q+6<br> d.9.9q-6
Yuri [45]
You have to add the same kind of terms, in this case the ones that have a variable (5.4q and -4.5q) and the ones that don't (2.4 and 3.6), like this:

(5.4q - 4.5q) + (2.4 + 3.6) = 0.9q + 6

The answer is c. 0.9 +6

Step-by-step explanation:

Since AC=BE & DE=DC

then measure angle <CAD=<EBD =X

Then< DAB =90-x

And <ABD= 90-X

then measure angle 1= measure angle 2
