Question

match each part of the circle to the corresponding letter.

label
a
b
c
d
e

choices:
tangent
chord
diameter
secant
point of tangency

Explanation:

Identify the geometric features of the circle

• Line \(a\) intersects the circle at two distinct points, extending infinitely in both directions.
• Segment \(b\) passes through the center of the circle with both endpoints on the circle.
• Segment \(c\) has both endpoints on the circle but does not pass through the center.
• Point \(d\) is the single point where the tangent line touches the circle.
• Line \(e\) touches the circle at exactly one point \(d\).

Match each label to its corresponding term

• \(a\) is a secant line.
• \(b\) is a diameter.
• \(c\) is a chord.
• \(d\) is the point of tangency.
• \(e\) is a tangent line.

Answer:

Label	Item
b	diameter
c	chord
d	point of tangency
e	tangent
