Question

triangle jkl is equilateral. one side of the triangle, jl, is a diameter of circle m. which is true about line segments jk and kl? both segments are chords in circle m but are not tangents. one segment is tangent to circle m and one segment is a chord in circle m. both segments are tangent to circle m but are not chords. neither segment is a chord or tangent to circle m.

Explanation:

A chord of a circle is a line - segment whose endpoints lie on the circle. A tangent to a circle is a line that touches the circle at exactly one point. Since $\triangle{JKL}$ is equilateral and $JL$ is the diameter of circle $M$, points $J$ and $L$ are on the circle. Points $K$ is outside the circle. Lines $JK$ and $KL$ intersect the circle at points $J$ and $L$ respectively and have two endpoints on the circle. They are chords and not tangents.

Answer:

Both segments are chords in circle M but are not tangents.
