Study Notes
Inscribed Angle and Intercepted Arcs
- An inscribed angle is an angle formed by two chords that share an endpoint.
- The intercepted arc is the arc that lies on the inside of the inscribed angle and has endpoints on the angle.
- The measure of an inscribed angle is half the measure of its intercepted arc.
- If two inscribed angles intercept the same arc, then the angles are congruent.
- If a quadrilateral is inscribed in a circle, then its opposite angles are supplementary.
Angles Formed by Tangent and Secant
- A tangent is a line that intersects a circle at exactly one point.
- A secant is a line that intersects a circle at exactly two points.
- The measure of an angle formed by a tangent and a chord is half the measure of the intercepted arc.
- The measure of an angle formed by two secants, two tangents, or a secant and a tangent drawn from a point outside the circle is half the difference of the measures of the intercepted arcs.
Segments Formed by Secants and Tangents
- The secant-secant segment theorem states that if two secants are drawn from a point outside a circle, then the product of the external segment and the entire secant is equal to the product of the external segment and the entire secant. (This is a repeated statement, missing critical detail)
- The tangent-secant segment theorem states that if a tangent and a secant are drawn from a point outside a circle, then the square of the tangent segment is equal to the product of the external segment and the entire secant.
- These theorems provide relationships between lengths of segments formed by intersecting lines and circles.
