Does a secant tangent angle pass through the center of the circle?
Neither secant nor tangent pass through the center of a circle. A secant passes through one point on the circle and the tangent passes through two points on a 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.
Is the diameter an example of an secant?
I am almost positive that it isn't because a secant is an extended chord so it goes out of circle. So no it is not.
What is a line that intersects a circle in exactly two points?
secant
A line joining two points on the circle?
A secant line.
When does a secant of a circle pass through the center of the circle?
The secant of a circle passes through the center of a circle sometimes
Where is the tangent secant angle on a circle?
The tangent secant angle is the angle between the tangent to a circle and the secant, when the latter is extended.
Is a secant-secant angle is a central angle of a circle?
Sometimes
A secant tangent passes through the center of a circle?
Neither secant nor tangent pass through the center of a circle. A secant passes through one point on the circle and the tangent passes through two points on a circle.
Does a secant tangent angle pass through the center of the circle?
Neither secant nor tangent pass through the center of a circle. A secant passes through one point on the circle and the tangent passes through two points on a circle.
Secant line?
A secant line is a line that cuts a circle in two places.
Does a secant line pass through the center of a circle?
No, a secant line does not pass through the center of a circle. A secant line is a line that intersects a circle in two distinct points. Only a line passing through the center of a circle is called a diameter.
Is every diameter of a circle is a secant of the circle?
If one is, they all are!
Is a secant a line or segment that passes through a point on the circle and the center of the circle?
A secant is a line that passes through a point on the circle and the center of the circle. It intersects the circle at two different points.
What is a line segment bisecting a circle or sphere?
a secant
What is a line called that contains a chord?
a secant of a circle
How is that any line intersecting the interior of a given circle is a secant of that circle?
Any line that enters a circle (and is not a tangent) must cross its boundary twice; once to enter, once to exit. Since a secant is a line segment that joins two different points on a curve, such a line as above is a secant.
