Question

Question 1 options:

A sector of a circle can be described as a wedge of the circle.

A secant line intersects the circle at two points.

A tangent line intersects the circle at two points.

Arc length of a circle can be labeled using degrees.

Answer 1

Let's evaluate each statement to determine which are true:

1. A sector of a circle can be described as a wedge of the circle.

   • True: A sector is indeed a portion of a circle that resembles a wedge.

2. A secant line intersects the circle at two points.

   • True: By definition, a secant line crosses a circle at exactly two points.

3. A tangent line intersects the circle at two points.

   • False: A tangent line touches the circle at exactly one point, not two.

4. Arc length of a circle can be labeled using degrees.

   • False: While angles can be measured in degrees, arc length is typically measured in units of distance (such as centimeters, meters, etc.), not degrees.

Based on this evaluation, the true statements are:

• A sector of a circle can be described as a wedge of the circle.
• A secant line intersects the circle at two points.
