Question

question 4 of 10
which of the segments below is a secant?
a. (overline{hj})
b. (overline{ab})
c. (overline{oj})

Explanation:

A secant is a line that intersects a circle at two points.

• $\overline{HJ}$ intersects the circle at two points (the circle's circumference).
• $\overline{AB}$ does not intersect the circle.
• $\overline{OJ}$ is a radius (connects the center \(O\) to a point \(J\) on the circle, intersects the circle at only one point \(J\)).

Answer:

A. \(\overline{HJ}\)
