Which of the following statements is true?


A.A radius is always a chord.

B.A tangent is always a secant.

C.A diameter is always a chord.

D.A chord is always a diameter.

Please help

Verified Answer :

A isnt correct because radius goes from center of circle to any point on circle. Chord on the other hand connects 2 points on circle...

B is also false. Secant goes through circle while tangent only touches it in one point. 

C is correct. Chord connects as said before 2 points on circle and in some cases it can connect 2 points in such way that it goes through center which is diameter.

D is not correct because chord doesnt have to pass trought center of circle in order to connect any 2 points on circle.
