Question

The center of a circle lies on _____.

Answer 1

Answer:

A) every diameter

The center of a circle lies on every diameter.

Explanation:

B) The circle: A circle is a two-dimensional shape where all points are the same distance from the center. So this definition doesn't match the definition of the center of the circle. The center is just a point not several ones.

C) A tangent line: obviously this definition is false. A tangent line is a line not a point.

D) Every chord: A chord is any line segment between two points on a circle. The only chord that passes through is the diameter. So this definition does not include all the chords of a circle

A) Every diameter: This is the correct option! A diameter is any chord that passes through the center.
