Exercise 14 Page 719

A chord is a segment whose endpoints are on the circumference of a circle.

Example Solution: AE

Practice makes perfect

Before naming a chord from the graph, let's review some important definitions about circles.

Now, consider the given diagram. We can see that the endpoints of AE are on the circumference of the circle and that the segment does not cross the center F.

Therefore, according to the definitions, AE is a chord that is not a diameter. Please note that this is just one of many possible answers.
