Question

Identify the tangent, chord, secant and no-intersection for the following circle.

• A. Tangent - $AB$, Chord - $JK$, Secant - $CD$ and no-intersection - $LM$
• B. Tangent - $EF$, Chord - $GI$, Secant - $JK$ and no-intersection - $LM$
• C. Tangent - $EF$, Chord - $GH$, Secant - $GI$ and no-intersection - $LM$
• D. Tangent - $LM$, Chord - $JK$, Secant - $CD$ and no-intersection - $CD$

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (C)

Tangent - $EF$, Chord - $GH$, Secant - $GI$ and no-intersection - $LM$

We know that,
A tangent intersects a circle at only $1$ point,
A secant intersects a circle at $2$ points and extends outside the cirlce,
A chord intersects a circle at $2$ points and is a line segment inside of a circle, and
A no-intersection doesn't touches a circle.


All these criteria are full-filled by options (a.) and (c.).
