What is the definition of a secant?

• A line segment whose endpoints are on the circle.

• A line that intersects a circle in one point.

• A line that intersects a circle in two points.

• A line segment which intersects the circle at the point of secancy.

Which is secant?

In a circle, if a diameter is is perpendicular to a chord, then:

• it bisects the chord

• it bisects the corresponding arc

• it bisects BOTH the chord and its arc

• none of these answers are correct

In a circle, if a diameter bisects a chord (that is not a diameter), then:

• it is a secant

• it is parallel to the chord

• it is perpendicular to the chord

• it is just shaking out the sillies

A ____ is a line, ray, or segment that intersects a circle at two points.

• Tangent

• Secant

• Radius

• Arc
