Chord, Tangent Line and Secant Line

     


                                                 CHORD

                                                                                                     
        A chord is a line segment that joins two points

     on curve. In geometry, a chord is often used

     to describe a line segment joining two endpoints

     that lie on a circle.






                                                   TANGENT LINE


         A line drawn perpendicular to a radius through the end point of the radius lying on

 the circle is a tangent to the circle. Two tangents can always be drawn to a circle 

from any point outside the circle, and these tangents are equal in length. 




                                         




                                          
                                               SECANT LINE


          An extended chord, a coplanar straight line cutting the circle at two points.
