Question

question 5 points 2
a line segment that connects the center and any point on the circle is called as __________ of the circle.

diameter

radius

chord

secant

Explanation:

To solve this, we recall the definitions of each term:

• Diameter: A line segment passing through the center and connecting two points on the circle (twice the radius).
• Radius: A line segment from the center of the circle to any point on the circle.
• Chord: A line segment connecting two points on the circle (doesn't have to pass through the center).
• Secant: A line that intersects the circle at two points.

The question describes a line segment from the center to a point on the circle, which matches the definition of a radius.

Answer:

B. radius
