Question

Which of the segments below is a secant?

Answer 1

Answer:

d.$\overline{BC}$

Step-by-step explanation :

We are given that a circle of center O.

We have to find the segment that is secant.

Secant : If a line which intersect the circle at two points.Then the line segment  is called  secant.

a.$\overline{OA}$

It is false because segment OA intersect the circle at one point A only.

b.$\overline{CD}$

It is false because segment CD intersect the circle at point D only.

c.$\overline{BC}$

It is true because it intersect the circle at two points .

d.$\overline{AB}$

It is false because it intersect the circle at one point A only.

Answer:c.$\overline{BC}$

Answer 2

Answer:

BC

Step-by-step explanation:

A secant is a line which intersects the circle at 2 points

In the given diagram this is BC
