High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A chord of a curve is a geometric line segment whose endpoints both lie on the curve. A secant or a secant line is the line extension of a chord. In geometry, a line segment is a part of a line that is bounded by two end points, and contains every point on the line between its end points. Examples of line segments include the sides of a triangle or square. More generally, when the end points are both vertices of a polygon, the line segment is either an edge (of that polygon) if they are adjacent vertices, or otherwise a diagonal. When the end points both lie on a curve such as a circle, a line segment is called a chord (of that curve).
