CHORD A chord is a segment whose
endpoints lie on the
circle/circumference of the circle.

DIAMETER
A diameter is a line segment/chord that
connects two points on the circle and passes
through the center of the circle.

SECANT LINE
A secant line is a line that intersects the circle
at two points. A secant line contains a chord.
TANGENT LINE
A tangent line is a line that intersects the circle
at exactly one point. The point of intersection is
called the point of tangency.
Point T is the
point of tangency
Radius OB is Ʇ to chord CD.
Segment CX= 2x+7 and
segment XD = 3x-2. Find
CX, XD, and CD.
Solution:
CX = XD
2x + 7 = 3x-2
2x-3x = -2-7
-x = -9
x=9
Using Substitution
CX= 2x + 7
2(9) + 7 = 25
XD = 3x -2
= 3(9) – 2 = 25 Chord CD = 50
Chord CD = ?
