0. SQ

,

1. PR

,

2. UW

1)This diagram shows that the secant line is line SQ because it intersects the circle at two points (P and T).

2) As a chord, we can tell that PR fits in the definition of a chord:

3) And a tangent line is the line UW that touches that circle at one given point from the circumference.
