    Study Notes

    Tangents and Circles

    • Theorem 9-1: A tangent line to a circle is perpendicular to the radius at the point where it touches the circle.
    • Corollary for Theorem 9-1: Tangents drawn from a common external point are congruent.
    • Theorem 9-2: A line that is perpendicular to the radius at its outer endpoint is tangent to the circle.

    Arc Properties

    • Arc Addition Postulate: The measure of an arc formed by two adjacent arcs equals the sum of their individual measures.
    • Theorem 9-3: Two minor arcs are congruent in the same circle (or congruent circles) if and only if their central angles are congruent.
    • Theorem 9-4: Congruent arcs imply congruent chords, and vice versa, within the same circle or congruent circles.

    Chord and Diameter Relationships

    • Theorem 9-5: A diameter perpendicular to a chord bisects both the chord and its corresponding arc.
    • Theorem 9-6: Chords that are equidistant from the circle's center are congruent, while congruent chords maintain equal distance from the center.

    Inscribed Angles

    • Theorem 9-7: The measure of an inscribed angle is half the measure of its intercepted arc.
    • Corollary 1 for Theorem 9-7: Inscribed angles that intercept the same arc are congruent.
    • Corollary 2 for Theorem 9-7: An angle inscribed in a semicircle is always a right angle.
    • Corollary 3 for Theorem 9-7: The opposite angles of a quadrilateral inscribed in a circle are supplementary.

    Angles Formed by Chords and Tangents

    • Theorem 9-8: The measure of an angle formed by a chord and a tangent is half the measure of the intercepted arc.
    • Theorem 9-9: The angle formed by two intersecting chords inside a circle equals half the sum of the measures of the intercepted arcs.
    • Theorem 9-10: The angle formed by two secants, two tangents, or a secant and tangent from an external point is half the difference of the intercepted arcs' measures.

    Segment Products

    • Theorem 9-11: When two chords intersect within a circle, the product of the segments of one chord equals the product of the segments of the other chord.
    • Theorem 9-12: The product of the entire secant segment and its external segment equals the product of the other secant segment and its external segment for segments drawn from an external point.
    • Theorem 9-13: The product of a secant segment with its external segment equals the square of the tangent segment drawn from the same external point.
