Triangle JKL is equilateral. One side of the triangle, JL, is a diameter of circle M. Which is true about line segments JK and K
L? Both segments are tangent to circle M but are not chords.
One segment is tangent to circle M and one segment is a chord in circle M.
Both segments are chords in circle M but are not tangents.
Neither segment is a chord nor tangent to circle M.
It could be concluded that since line JL is a diameter of a circle, therefore, JK and KL are the tangents of the specific circle that JL is part of. By definition, a tangent is "a line that touches a curve at one point without touching it." Both these lines touches the edges of the circle M therefore they are tangents.
