What touches the circle at two points?
A line that intersects a circle at exactly two points is known as a secant line. This line crosses the circumference of the circle, creating two distinct intersection points. In contrast, a tangent line touches the circle at only one point, while a secant line extends through the circle.
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 is the name of a line intersecting a circle in two points?
A line that intersects a circle at two points is called a "secant." This line passes through the interior of the circle, creating two distinct intersection points on the circle's circumference. In contrast, a line that touches the circle at exactly one point is known as a "tangent."
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.
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.
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 secant is a line or segment that passes thought a circle in one and only one place?
Actually, a secant is defined as a line that intersects a circle at two points, not just one. A line that touches a circle at exactly one point is called a tangent. Therefore, a secant goes through the circle, while a tangent merely touches it.
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.)
