Tell whether KN is best described as a radius, chord, diameter, secant, or tangent of ⊙P.

What can be KN best described as?

Please show all the work on how you got your answer. ( I'm not asking for an explanation. All I want is the work shown so I can understand how you got your answer)

Answer 1

C) diameter

Explanation:

KN is a straight line passing through the centre and not outside the circle, so it's a diameter

Answer 2

KN can be best described as a Diameter, as it is a chord(Line that goes between two distinct points in a circle) and goes through the radius.

An example of a radius would be segment KP or PN.

An example of a chord would be segments KN or NM.

An example of a secant would be line LN

An example of a tangent would be line JL.
