What is line segment D B: tangent
What is line segment D H: secant
What is is AC: radius
Please give me BRAINLLEST
You can use the definition of tangent and secant of a circle to differentiate between what is a tangent and what is a secant.
- The line segment FG is a secant of the given circle.
- The line segment DB is a tangent of the given circle.
- The line segment DH is a secant of the given circle, if DH!= DC, else it is tangent.
- The line segment AC is a radius line of the given circle.
What do we know?
- The line segment AC goes from center A to C
- The line segment GF goes from one point G on circle to other side of the circle at point F on the circle.
- The line segment HE goes from one side of the circle to the other side.
- The line segment BD intersects the circle at point C and remains outside of the circle.
What is a tangent?
A tangent is a line which only touches the circle (ie intersects at one point) and is straight line and lies outwards of the circle.
What is a secant?
A secant is a straight line which intersects the circle at two points, unlike tangent which only intersects at one point of the circle.
Using above definitions to identify the parts of circle
- Since line segment FG intersects circle at point F and G two points, thus, it is a secant.
- Since the line segment BD lies outside and intersects the circle at C thus its a tangent.
- The Line segment DH is a secant as if DH != DC else it will also be a tangent.
- The line segment AC lies inside of the circle and goes from center to the circumference, thus its a radius line segment of that circle.
