Question

A circular 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?

Answer 1

Well, since point A represents the center, and B represents a point on the outer line of the circle, segment AB would represent the radius, since the radius represents the length from the center to the outside of a circle

Hope this helps

Answer 2

Segment AB is called the Radius.

Explanation:

We are given a circular plate which has a crack along the line AB.

The center of the plate is labeled as A and B is a point on the circumference of the plate.

Now we are asked to find what the line segment AB is called.

We know that radius of a circle is a line segment that joins the center of the circle to any point on the circumference of the circle.

Here we have Point A is the center and B is the point on the circumference.

Hence, Line AB is called the Radius of the circle.
