What is a line called that contains a chord?
a secant of a circle
What is difference between chord and secant?
a chord is a line segment and its endpoints are on the circle. a secant line is a "line" (meaning it is continuous and has no end points) that intersects a circle (in two places if that's not obvious). > > > Beans63
A secant contains a chord?
yes
What is a line that goes through a circle from top to bottom?
A line that goes through a circle is a secant line. (Remember that a line is infinitely long.) Anyline that passes through a circle is a secant line, whether it passes through the center of the circle or not. Compare this to a line segment with endpoints on the circumference of a circle. That segment is called a chord of that circle. If the chord of a circle passes through the center of that circle, it is a diameter of that circle, which is the longest chord of the circle.
What is a line one that passes through a circle at two distinct points.?
A chord and the circle's diameter is its largest chord
