Q3 of 9 Page 29

Look at the figure alongside and write whether the following statements are true or false.


(1) Seg TS is not a chord. ( )


(2) Seg KM is a chord. ( )


(3) Seg CK is a radius. ( )


(4) Seg KM is not a diameter. ( )

1. False,


Reason: a line segment joining any two points of a circle is a chord, thus seg TS is a chord


2. True,


Reason: KM is a diameter, and diameter is also known as the longest chord of a circle.


3. True,


Reason: C is a centre and any line segment connecting the centre of a circle to any point of a circle is a radius, Thus, CK is a radius.


4. False,


Reason: seg KM is a diameter since it is a chord passing through the centre C of a circle.
