Acircular plate has a crack along the line ab, as shown below:

a circular plate is shown. the center of the plate is labeled as a. b is a point on the circumference of the plate. a straight line joins the points a and b.

if a is the center of the plate, what is the segment ab called?

a. tangent of the plate
b. chord of the plate
c. radius of the plate
d. secant of the plate

c. Radius of the plate

Step-by-step explanation:

The radius of a circle is a segment that goes from the center of the circumference to any point of the perimeter of the circumference, as the plate is a circle, and you have a straight line going from the center of the circumference to a point in the perimeter it is a radius.

definitely a. the others have almost all data points on one side of the line.
