Question

question 9 of 10
which of the following segments is a diameter of ⊙o?
a. $overline{uv}$
b. $overline{zy}$
c. $overline{oz}$
d. $overline{zx}$

Explanation:

A diameter of a circle is a line segment that passes through the center of the circle and has both endpoints on the circle. Analyzing each option:

• $\overline{UV}$ passes through center $O$, with endpoints $U$ and $V$ on the circle.
• $\overline{ZY}$ is a chord but does not pass through the center.
• $\overline{OZ}$ is a radius, not a diameter (only one endpoint on the circle).
• $\overline{ZX}$ is a chord but does not pass through the center.

Answer:

A. $\overline{UV}$
