C. Segment EB is a chord that lies on a secant because the line segment's endpoints are on the circle.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In geometry, A secant of a curve is a line that intersects the curve in at least two different points. Also, In the case of a circle, a secant will intersect the circle in exactly two points.

In the given figure, BEA and CDA are the two secants.

Therefore, from the figure given, it can be seen that only EB is the only chord which is lying on the secant BEA, thus

A chord that lies on a secant is segment EB.

Hence, option (C) is correct.

Geometry math question please help

Nikolay [14]

AD is perpendicular to BC so slope Ad = -1/slope of BC

Slope of BC = (2 - (-1)) / (- 6- 3) = 3 / -9 = -1/3

So slope of AD = -1 / (-1/3) = -3/-1 = 3 Answer

Answer:

12 square inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Please consider the complete question.

A model ship has a mast that is 7 inches tall. A right triangular sail goes from the top of the mast to 1 inch from the bottom of the mast. The length of the base of the sail is 4 inches. The height of the sail is along the mast. Find the area of the sail.

The sail will form a right triangle with respect to mast, whose height is 6 inches and base is 4 inches as shown in the diagram.

The area of the sail will be equal to area of triangle.

$\text{Area of triangle}=\frac{1}{2}(\text{Base}\times\text{Height})$
