What does chord mean in math?
A chord of a circle is a geometric line segment whose endpoints both lie on the circumference of the circle. A secant or a secant line is the line extension of a chord.
What does diamater mean?
The diameter is the chord (line that goes from the circle to the circle) that goes through the center of the circle. It is the largest chord. It is also equal to twice the radius.
What is the Tangent Line to Circle Theorem?
The Tangent Line to Circle Theorem states that a line is tangent to a circle if and only if it's perpendicular to the circle's radius.
What is a line that passes through the center of a circle?
Any line that passes through a circle and touches two points on its circumference is a secant line. (Recall that a line is infinitely long.) If the line passes through the center of the circle, it is still called a secant line. Compare this to a line segment that has its endpoints on the circumference of the circle. That line segment is called the cord of the circle. If that cord passes through the center of the circle, it is a diameter of the circle, which is the longest cord of that circle.
A segment with endpoints on a circle?
A chord is a line segment whose endpoints lie on a circle. A secant is a line (or line segment) that intersects a circle in two places, endpoints NOT on the circle.
What does '' a tangent to a circle '' mean?
It is a straight line that touches the circle.
A line segment that is only half through the circle?
If you mean a line that gous from the center of a circle to the edge of the circle, that is a radius.
What is the line that goes around the globe with a parallel line?
Do you mean, like, the Earth? The equator. If you mean the line going from side to side across the middle of a circle then... the diameter of a circle
Can a circle with a line through it mean square feet?
Circle with a line through it is square yards, a square with a line through it is square feet
What is a tangent line with respect to a circle?
A tangent to a circle is a line which touches the circle once. That is, it does not pass through the circle, which would mean intersecting it twice. A way to form a tangent is draw any line from the centre point of a circle to its edge. A line on the edge perpendicular (at 90 degrees to) this line will be a tangent.
What does open circle mean in math?
An open circle is usually found on a number line in math. An open circle usually represents a number that is not included in the line.
What does the circle with the lines around it mean?
line segment
Does a full circle mean power on?
No, the line means that it's on
What does an L with a circle around it and a line through it mean?
Oh, honey, that symbol is like the "no entry" sign for your life. It means "no left turn," so don't even think about sneaking a cheeky U-turn there. Just keep on driving straight and save the drama for your mama.
How are chords and secant of a circle alike?
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
What does chord mean in math?
A chord of a circle is a geometric line segment whose endpoints both lie on the circumference of the circle. A secant or a secant line is the line extension of a chord.
What does circling mean?
A circle is a line, drawn around a point in such a way that the line is always the same distance from the point. This distance is known as the 'radius' of that circle.
