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.
What else can I help you with?
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.
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.
What do you call a line segment that passes through the center of a circle and touches two points on the circle?
The secant.
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.
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.
How is a chord different from a radius?
A chord touches two points on the circumference of a circle whereas a radius touches only one point from its center.
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.
What is the relationship between a triangle, a circle, and a chord that intersects the circle at exactly 7 points?
In geometry, a chord is a line segment that connects two points on a circle. If a chord intersects a circle at exactly 7 points, it means the chord passes through the circle and touches it at 7 different points. This relationship between a triangle, a circle, and a chord with 7 points of intersection is a geometric concept that demonstrates the properties of circles and their chords.
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 segment between two points on a circle is a?
A segment between two points on a circle is
Does every chord of a circle contain two points of the circle?
Yes, and the two points are located on the circumference of the circle
Can a chord be a radius?
Assuming that the question was meant to be about a chord (not chrod) and radius (not radious), the answer is no. A chord is a line joining two points on the circumference of a circle. One end of a radius is on the circumference but the other is at the centre.
