Question

1. how would you classify \\( \overline { a g } \\)?

secant

chord

radius

tangent

Explanation:

To classify \(\overline{AG}\), we recall the definitions:

• Secant: A line that intersects a circle at two points and extends outside.
• Chord: A segment with both endpoints on the circle.
• Radius: A segment from center to circle (one endpoint at center).
• Tangent: A line that touches the circle at exactly one point.

\(\overline{AG}\) has both endpoints (\(A\) and \(G\)) on the circle, so it fits the definition of a chord.

Answer:

B. Chord
