The wrong statement about a circle is c. Every chord is a diameter
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Circles are two-dimensional builds which are sets of equidistant points at a point called the center point
The distance of these points to the center is called the radius of the circle. While the circle field is an area which is bounded by a circle
There are terms - terms commonly used in circles:
- A diameter is a line that passes through the center of a circle and divides the circle into two equal parts
- A Secant is a plotline that intersects a circle at two points on a circle
- A chord is a line that cuts a circle at 2 points located on the arc
Let we see the answer choices :
- a. Every chord is a part of a secant
Right, because secant itself is an extension of the chord
- b. Every diameter is a part of secant
Right, because the diameter itself also intersects the circle at two points on the circle, just like secant
- c. Every chord is a diameter
<em>Incorrect</em>, because the diameter itself must pass through the center point while the chord does not have to
- d. Every diameter is a chord
Right, because each diameter intersects a circle at two different points
So the wrong statement is C. Every chord is a diameter
