    Study Notes

    Circles and Angles

    • A chord is a line segment within a circle, having both endpoints on the circle.
    • An arc is a part of a circle, bounded by two endpoints (called vertices).
    • A central angle is an angle whose vertex is the center of a circle.
    • An inscribed angle is an angle whose vertex is on a circle and whose sides contain chords of the circle.

    Tangents and Secants

    • A tangent is a line that intersects a circle at exactly one point (called the point of tangency).
    • A secant is a line that intersects a circle at two or more points.

    Two Tangent Theorem

    • If two tangent lines intersect at an external point, then the tangent segments to the circle from that point are congruent.

    Tangent-Secant Theorem

    • (Tangent) = (Secant) × (external point of secant)

    Distance Formula

    • The distance between two points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) is given by: √((x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²)

    Measure of Angles

    • Measure of an angle intersecting a chord: Angle = ½(big arc + small arc)
    • Measure of an angle intersecting a secant: Angle = ½(big arc - small arc)

    Finding the Distance

    • The distance from the center of a circle to a point outside the circle is given by: (chord)(tangent) ÷ √((chord)² + (tangent)²)
