Difference between secant lines and tangent lines?
A secant line touches a circle at two points. On the other hand a tangent line meets a circle at one point.
A line that intersects two distinct lines at two distinct points?
IT is Secant .. If I am correct .. I ain't sure about my answer =) * * * * * A transversal.
Do lines have endpoints and why?
No, lines do not have endpoints, because they continue on forever in two directions, and never stop at an endpoint.
A part of lines that has two endpoints?
It is a line segment
What kind of lines are in the same plane if they have no common endpoints?
Parallel

What is a theorem about two lines tangent to a circle at the endpoints of a diameter?
Two lines tangent to a circle at the endpoints of its diameter are parallel. See related link for proof.

A tangent of a circle is a secant of the circle true or false?
A tangent of a circle is not a secant of a circle, so the answer is false. A tangent of a circle is a line that intersects the curve of the circle at exactly one point on the curve. It could be said to "touch" the circle at one unique location. Obviously there are an infinite number of lines that can be drawn to do this. A secant of a circle is a line that touches the curve of the circle at exactly two unique points on the curve. It might be considered "similar" to the chord of a circle, which is a line segment with endpoints at two unique locations on the curve of a circle. Except that the secant of a circle is a line and not a line segment. Any chord of a circle that is overlaid with a line, which is like saying that we "extend" the line segment that is the chord of the circle on each end, and do so all the way to infinity, we'll have the secant of a circle. Let's take things one step further. If a circle and a line are coplanar (lie in the same plane), one of three things will be true. Either they will have no (zero) points of intersection, or they'll have one point of intersection, or they'll have two points of intersection. There are no other possibilities. Think this through and it will make complete sense. A lot of geometry will "work like this" when we study it and think it through. Use the links below to check out the idea of a tangent and a secant of a circle.
Does a segment have one two or no endpoints?
A line segment has two endpoints. Lines are infinite, so they have no endpoints; while rays start at one point and continue infinitely; and line segments are completely finite, so they have endpoints at both ends.
What has infinite length but no width no thickness and no endpoints?
It is the parallel lines in Geometry!
How many endpoints are needed to draw six line?
12 lines
How many endpoints are needed to draw a four line segment?
5 lines
What is a plane made up of sides joined at endpoints?
A plane is made up of an infinite number of sides (lines) that are joined at endpoints. This creates a flat surface that extends infinitely in all directions. Each side of a plane is defined by two points.
