Question

directions - match each diagram with its correct term:
drag & drop the answers
chord
diameter
tangent
radius
secant

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the first diagram (line through circle, endpoints outside)

A secant is a line that intersects a circle at two points and extends beyond the circle. The first diagram has a line with endpoints outside the circle, intersecting the circle at two points. So this matches "Secant".

Step2: Analyze the second diagram (line from center to circle)

A radius is a line segment from the center of a circle to any point on the circle. The second diagram shows a line from the center to the circle's edge, so this matches "Radius".

Step3: Analyze the third diagram (line touching circle at one point)

A tangent is a line that touches a circle at exactly one point. The third diagram has a line touching the circle at one point, so this matches "Tangent".

Step4: Analyze the fourth diagram (line through center, endpoints on circle)

A diameter is a chord that passes through the center of the circle (a chord is a line segment with both endpoints on the circle). The fourth diagram has a line through the center with endpoints on the circle, so this matches "Diameter".

Step5: Analyze the fifth diagram (line segment with both endpoints on circle, not through center)

A chord is a line segment with both endpoints on the circle (if it passes through the center, it's a diameter, but this one doesn't). The fifth diagram has a line segment with both endpoints on the circular arc (or circle), so this matches "Chord".

Answer:

1. First diagram: Secant
2. Second diagram: Radius
3. Third diagram: Tangent
4. Fourth diagram: Diameter
5. Fifth diagram: Chord
