Grade 10
Objectives
1. Find the lengths of the segments determined by
chords, secants, and tangents.
THEOREMS
Two-Chord Power Theorem
A
If two chords intersect
C inside a circle, then the
product of the lengths of
Concept 1 one chord is equal to the
product of the lengths of
O P the segments of the other
chord.

B
AP PB = C P PD
D Chord Chord Power Theorem
Two-Secant Power Theorem
If two secants intersects in the
exterior of a circle, then the
product of the lengths of one
secant segment and its
A Concept 1 B P external segment is equal to
the product of the lengths of
the other secant segment and
O its external segment.
D

AP PB = C P PD
C
Secant Secant Power Theorem
Secant-Tangent Power Theorem
If a secants and a tangent
intersect in the exterior of a
circle, then the product of the
B P lengths of the secant segment
A Concept 1 and its external segment is
equal to the square of the
length of the tangent segment.
O

AP PB = C P 2
C
Example 1: Find the value of x.

A
AP PB = C P PD
C 12 Concept 1 12 x = 4 9
4 12 x = 36
O 12 12
P
x = 3
x 9

B
D
Example 2: Find the value of x.

P
B 5
AP PB = C P PD
A x Concept 1
4
(x + 5) (5 ) = (6 + 4) (4)
D
5x + 25 = 40
O
5x = 40 - 25
6
5x = 15
5 5
C x = 3
P Example 3: Find the value of x.

x
8
B AP PB = C P 2
2
Concept 1 (x + 12) (x) = (8)
C
2
x + 12x = 64
12
2
x + 12x - 64 = 0
O

A (x + 16) (x - 4) = 0
x + 16 = 0 (x - 4) = 0
x = -16 x= 4
Example 4: Find the value of x.

AP PB = CP PD
A Concept 1 3 4 = x ( 7- x )
3
12 = 7x - x²
P D x² - 7x + 12 = 0
C x
4 (x - 3) (x - 4) = 0
x-3 =0 x- 4 =0
B x=3 x= 4
