Angles Formed by Secants and Tangents

The document summarizes key concepts about angles formed by secants and tangents of circles. It defines tangents as lines that touch a circle at only one point and secants as lines that intersect a circle at two points. It presents three theorems: 1) The measure of an angle formed by two intersecting secants outside a circle is half the difference of the intercepted arcs. 2) The measure of an angle formed by a tangent and secant drawn at the point of contact is half the measure of the intercepted arc. 3) The measure of an angle formed by two intersecting secants inside a circle is half the sum of the intercepted arcs. Examples and activities are provided.
