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 tangent to circle M but are not chords.
One segment is tangent to circle M and one segment is a chord in circle M.
Both segments are chords in circle M but are not tangents.
Neither segment is a chord nor tangent to circle M.

It could be concluded that since line JL is a diameter of a circle, therefore, JK and KL are the tangents of the specific circle that JL is part of. By definition, a tangent is "a line that touches a curve at one point without touching it." Both these lines touches the edges of the circle M therefore they are tangents.

Based on the line segments of JK and KL, we can infer that Neither segment is a chord nor tangent to circle M.

What is a chord on a circle?

A chord refers to a line that joins any two points from one side of the circumference of a circle to another.

JK does not join two points on the circumference because it stops at the triangle and neither does KL. Neither touch the circle as well and so are not tangent to circle M either.
