Q:

Which of the following statements is false? a. Every chord is a part of a secant b. Every diameterbis a part of secant c. Every chord is a diameter d. Every diameter is a chord

Accepted Solution

A:
The wrong statement about a circle is c. Every chord is a diameterFurther explanationCircles are two-dimensional builds which are sets of equidistant points at a point called the center pointThe distance of these points to the center is called the radius of the circle. While the circle field is an area which is bounded by a circleThere are terms - terms commonly used in circles:1. The center point2. Radius3. Arc4. Circumference5. Segment6. Chord7. Annulus8. Diameter9. Disc10. LensA diameter is a line that passes through the center of a circle and divides the circle into two equal partsA Secant is a plotline that intersects a circle at two points on a circleA chord is a line that cuts a circle at 2 points located on the arcLet we see the answer choices :a. Every chord is a part of a secantRight, because secant itself is an extension of the chordb. Every diameter is a part of secantRight, because the diameter itself also intersects the circle at two points on the circle, just like secantc. Every chord is a diameterIncorrect, because the diameter itself must pass through the center point while the chord does not have tod. Every diameter is a chordRight, because each diameter intersects a circle at two different pointsSo the wrong statement is C.
