chords and secants are same as
secant mean - a line which passes the circle by cutting it at two distinct points
chord mean - it is a straight line segment whose endpoint both lie on the circle
Secants are chords that go through a circle ONCE! Tangents are rays or segments with one point touching the border of a circle and nothing else.
A line that touches a circle in two points is known as a secant line. Unlike a tangent line, which intersects the circle at exactly one point, a secant line crosses through the circle, creating two distinct intersection points. This characteristic differentiates secant lines from other types of lines related to circles, such as tangents and chords.
The tangent secant angle is the angle between the tangent to a circle and the secant, when the latter is extended.
No, not all secants are chords. A secant is a line that intersects a circle at two points, while a chord is a segment whose endpoints lie on the circle. Therefore, while every chord can be considered a part of a secant line, not all secants are confined to just the segment between the two intersection points; they extend infinitely in both directions.

a secant is a line containing a chord. A secant is a line that intersects the circle twice(or passes through a circle)
The secant of a circle passes through the center of a circle sometimes
The tangent secant angle is the angle between the tangent to a circle and the secant, when the latter is extended.
No, not all secants are chords. A secant is a line that intersects a circle at two points, while a chord is a segment whose endpoints lie on the circle.

Sometimes
Neither secant nor tangent pass through the center of a circle. A secant passes through one point on the circle and the tangent passes through two points on a circle.
Neither secant nor tangent pass through the center of a circle. A secant passes through one point on the circle and the tangent passes through two points on a circle.
A secant line is a line that cuts a circle in two places.
A secant is a line that intersects a circle in two points, denoted as P and Q. The dot in "secant dot P" likely indicates where the secant line intersects the circle at point P.
No, a secant line does not pass through the center of a circle. A secant line is a line that intersects a circle in two distinct points. Only a line passing through the center of a circle is called a diameter.
If one is, they all are!
