Proving Theorems On Secants and Angles: Activity No. 7

This document provides instructions for an activity to prove three theorems about secants and angles related to circles. Students are asked to complete a table proving the first theorem that if two segments from the same exterior point are tangent to a circle, then the two segments are congruent. They are also asked to prove two additional theorems: 1) if two chords of a circle intersect, then the product of the measures of the segments of one chord is equal to the product of the measures of the segments of the other chord; and 2) if two secants intersect in the interior of a circle, then the measure of an angle formed is one-half the sum of the measures of the arcs intercepted by the angle and its

2. If two chords of a circle intersect, then the product of the measures of the
segments of one chord is equal to the product of the measures of the segments
of the other chord.

Prove: CO • OS = RO • OH

To Prove: Draw and


3. If two secants intersect in the interior of a circle, then the measure of an angle
formed is one-half the sum of the measures of the arcs intercepted by the
angle and its vertical angle.
