Answer:

line Q

line M

line N

line P

Step-by-step explanation:

From the circle given, we are to determine the nalme of each lines

You must first know that "a chord is the line segment joining two points on a curve"

From the circle, the line joining two points on the curve is line Q.

Hence the letter that represents a chord is Q

A tangent is a line that cuts the circumference of a circle. The line that cuts the circumference from the circle shown is line M.

Hence the letter that represents a tangent is line M

A radius is a line that is drawn from the circumference of a circle to the centre of the circle. From the circle shown, the line that is drawn from the circumference of a circle to the centre of the circle is line N.

Hence the letter that represents a radius is line N

For the secant:

A secant of a circle is a line that intersects the curve at a minimum of two distinct points. From the circle the secant line is line P.

Hence the letter that represents a secant is line P
