Question

define secant of the circle ​

Answer 1

Answer:

A secant is a line that intersects the circle in two different points and a tangent is a line that intersects the circle in exactly one point, called the point of tangency.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

In geometry, a secant of a curve is a line that intersects the curve in at least two (distinct) points.

In the case of a circle, a secant will intersect the circle in exactly two points and a chord is the line segment determined by these two points, that is the interval on a secant whose endpoints are these points.[3]
