Question

Identify the following parts of a circle in the adjoining figure : Secant

Answer 1

Secant of a circle : When a line intersects a circle at two points, it is called secant of the circle .

From the figure we can say that line $\mathrm{q}$ is the secant of the circle.

Hence, $\mathrm{q}$ is the secant line which intersects the circle at $\mathrm{B}$ and $\mathrm{D}$.
