Question

which of the segments below is a secant? a. (overline{oj}) b. (overline{ab}) c. (overline{hj})

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

A secant of a circle is a line that intersects the circle at two points. $\overline{HJ}$ intersects the circle at points $H$ and $J$. $\overline{OJ}$ is a radius (a line - segment from the center of the circle to a point on the circle), and $\overline{AB}$ does not intersect the circle at all.

Answer:

C. $\overline{HJ}$
