Answer:

Segment JK is a chord in circle H

Line LM is a secant to circle H

Explanation:

* Lets revise some definition in the circle

- The radius of the circle is a line segment drawn from the center of

the circle to a point on the circumference of the circle

- The chord of a circle is a line segment whose endpoints lie on the

circumference of the circle

- The secant is a line intersect the circle in two points

- The tangent is a line touch or intersect the circle in one point

* Now lets solve the problem

- In circle H

∵ JK is a segment in circle H

∵ Point J lies on the circumference of circle H

∵ Point K lies on the circumference of circle H

∴ Segment JK is a chord in circle H

∵ LM is a line

∵ LM intersect circle H in two points L and M

∴ Line LM is a secant to circle H
