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.
How do you get a perpendicular line?
To make perpendicular lines, draw a horizontal line. Then using a compass or tracing around the edge of a curved object, draw one circle ( or just a semi-circle) so that it crosses the horizontal straight line in at least one point. Now rotate the compass or move the curved object to draw another circle (or semi-circle). This second circle (or semi-circle) must cross through the horizontal straight line as the first one did. It also must cross through the first circle (or semi-circle) at two points- above the horizontal straight line and below the horizontal straight line. Next, draw a straight line from where the two circles (or semi-circles) meet above the horizontal straight line through to where they meet below the horizontal straight line. You now have a line perpendicular to the first line.
Can a circle pass through three points of a straight line?
No, a circle can never pass through three points of a straight line. The circle will touch 1) no points of the line, 2) one point of the line (which is now tangent to the circle), or 3) two points of the line. A line can contain (at most) twopoints that lie on the line.
What is the radius of circle?
The radius of a circle or sphere is a straight line from the centre to the edge.

Can a chord of a circle also be a diameter of a circle And why?
A chord is a straight line that spans the circumference of a circle and the diameter of a circle is a straight line in a circle spanning its circumference and passing through the circle's centre.
What is a straight line from the centre to the edge of a circle called?
A straight line from the center of a circle to the outer edge is called a radius.
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.
What polygon is a circle?
A polygon is a plane area bounded by straight lines. A circle consists of a curved line, not a straight line. Therefore a circle is not a polygon and conversely, no polygon can be a circle.
Is straigh line a part of circle?
You can draw a straight line in, on or near a circle but it cannot be a part of a circle.
A line with angles not straight?
A circle..
Is the circle or straight line symbol on or off?
The line stands for "on" and the circle stands for "off".
Are circles polygons?
NO, a circle is not a polygon. A polygon is composed of a finite set of straight line segments, and a circle has NO straight line segments.
What is the straight line which touches the circumference in a circle?
It is the tangent of the circle
What does '' a tangent to a circle '' mean?
It is a straight line that touches the circle.
