Answer:

Please, find attached the figure with the circle D and several lines.

  • The secant is the line that passes through the points GH.

Step-by-step explanation:

"A secant is a line that intersects a circle in exactly two points". That is what the line that passes through the points GH is.

What are the other lines and segments drawn? They are:

  • Chord: The sement FE is a chord. Because it is limited it is not a line but a segment. Also, it is a diameter, because it passes through the center of the circle.

  • Radius: The segment DC is a radius because it goes from the center of the circle to a point on the circumference.

  • The ray that passes through A and B is tangent to the circles because is touches just one point on the circumference.
