Question

using the figure shown, which line segment could represent a chord of a circle?
options:
$overline{lm}$
$overline{mn}$
all of the above
$overline{no}$

Explanation:

Step1: Recall chord definition

A chord is a line segment with both endpoints on the circle.

Step2: Analyze each segment

• $\overline{LM}$: Both $L$ and $M$ lie on the circle, so it is a chord.
• $\overline{MN}$: $N$ is outside the circle, so it is not a chord.
• $\overline{NO}$: $N$ is outside the circle, so it is not a chord.

Answer:

$\overline{LM}$
