Question

In the circle below, O is the center, PQ is a diameter, TW Intersects the circle at Q, and US Intersects the circle at Q and V. Use this information to fill in the

Answer 1

Given:

O is the center, PQ is the diameter, TW Intersects the circle at Q, and US Intersects the circle at Q and V.

Required:

We need to find the chord, secant line, and tangent line.

Explanation:

Recall that a chord is the line segment joining two points on a circle.

The line segment PQ Intersects the circle at P and Q.

$Chord=\bar{PQ}$

Recall that a secant line is a line passing through two points of a circle.

The line US Intersects the circle at Q and V.

The line US passes through Q and V of a circle.

$Secant\text{ line =}\vec{US}$

Recall that a tangent line is a line that touches the circle at a single point

The line TW Intersects the circle at Q

The line TW touches the circle at Q.

$Tangent\text{ line=}\vec{TW}$

Final answer:

$Chord=\bar{PQ}$

$Secant\text{ line =}\vec{US}$

$Tangent\text{ line=}\vec{TW}$
