Question

Which of the following statements is true?. . A.A tangent is never a secant.. B.A secant is always a chord.. C.A chord is always a radius.. D.A diameter is never a chord.

Answer 1

The correct answer is:

A) A tangent is never a secant.

Step-by-step explanation:

A tangent is a line that touches a circle in exactly one point. A secant is a line that touches a circle in two different points.

Since a tangent only touches once and a secant touches twice, there is no way a tangent can be a secant.
