Which line is a chord?
It is a straight line within a circle that touches two points of the circumference and the largest chord is the circle's diameter.
The line segment which touches two points on the circumference is what?
It is a chord of which the circle's diameter is the largest chord.
Which line segment is a chord?
Any line that touches two points of the circumference is a chord the largest being the circle's diameter.
What do you call line segment in a circle?
A. If the line segment touches two points on the circle it is called as: 1. secant; if the line extends outside the circle. 2. chord; if the line is present only within the circle. B. If the line segment touches one point on the circle AND the center of the circle AND is present only within the circle it is called as: radius.
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 tangent line is a line that intersects a circle at exactly two points?
No. A tangent touches the circle at exactly one point. A line that intersects a circle at exactly two points is a secant.
Which line is a chord?
It is a straight line within a circle that touches two points of the circumference and the largest chord is the circle's diameter.
What do you call a line segment that passes through the center of a circle and touches two points on the circle?
The secant.
The line segment which touches two points on the circumference is what?
It is a chord of which the circle's diameter is the largest chord.

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.
What is a straight line that intersects a curve?
A straight line that intersects a circle or curve at two points, but which has both end points outside the circle or curve is called a secant. A straight line that links two points on a circle or curve is called a chord. A straight line which touches a circle or curve at one point is called a tangent. A straight line that cuts a circle or curve at one point is a straight line.* For moving diagrams see Related links below this box.
A line that intersects a circle in two points?
A chord line intersects a circle at two points of which the circle's diameter is its largest chord.
What is a straight line joining points on a circle?
A straight line joining points on a circle is called a "chord" of that circle. If the line happens to pass through the center of the circle, then it's a "diameter" of that circle. The question asked about "points" on a circle, so two points on the circumference of that circle are being considered. (No line can join more than two points of a circle.)
How can you prove that the line between to points is a tangent of the smaller circle?
Step I: Show that both points are outside the smaller circles. Possibly by showing that distance from each point to the centre of the circle is greater than its radius. Step 2: Show that the line between the two points touches the circle at exactly one point. This would be by simultaneous solution of the equations of the line and the circle.
A line segment that connects any two points of a circle is called?
A chord is a line which connects two points which lie on a circle.
