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.
Can a line be tangent to one circle and a secant to the other in concentric circles?
Yes, it can as long as it is not the tangent line of the outermost circle. If it is tangent to any of the inner circles it will always cross the outer circles at two points--so it is their secant line--whereas the tangent of the outermost circle is secant to no circle because there are no more circles beyond that last one.
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.
Which of these is a secant dot P?
A secant is a line that intersects a circle in two points, denoted as P and Q. The dot in "secant dot P" likely indicates where the secant line intersects the circle at point P.
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
