Math Problem Statement
Solution
The image shows a geometric problem involving a circle with various labeled points and line segments. The task is to name certain elements of the circle, such as radii, chords, and secants.
Here’s a breakdown of the elements:
1. Radii:
- Definition: A radius is a line segment from the center of the circle to any point on the circle.
- In the image: The center of the circle is labeled as . The radii are , , and .
2. Chords:
- Definition: A chord is a line segment with both endpoints on the circle.
- In the image: The chords are , , and .
3. Secants:
- Definition: A secant is a line that intersects the circle at two points.
- In the image: The secants are and .
Complete Answers:
- All Radii: , ,
- All Chords: , ,
- All Secants: ,
