3rd Quarter Angles Formed by Tangents and Secants

This document contains 5 theorems about angles formed by tangents and secants drawn to a circle: 1) The measure of an angle formed by two intersecting tangents or secants outside the circle is one-half the difference of the intercepted arc. 2) Examples are provided to demonstrate finding the measure of angles using the theorems. 3) Prayers to saints and a brief introduction are provided before the theorems and examples.

ANGLES FORMED BY
TANGENTS AND
SECANTS
OPENING PRAYER
Heavenly Father and Your beloved Son
Jesus Christ,
We thank You for giving us another life,
We thank You for another beautiful
morning.
As we go on through our lessons today,
May you make us instruments to do good
things.
Please enlighten our minds,
Give us the strength to participate in
our subject today.
Thank you for this opportunity to learn
and serve others and help to always
remember the truth of your Glory.
In Jesus name Amen.
St. Mary Euphrasia and St. John
Eudes,
Give us your zeal for the glory of God
and the salvation of souls.
St. Bridget, pray for us.
If x is a given point on the circle, there is only a single line
which can be drawn to X that is tangent to the circle.
THEOREMS ON TANGENTS
THEOREMS ON TANGENTS
If two tangents segments is drawn from the point outside the
circle, then the segments are congruent.
Theorem 1 THE INTERSECTING TANGENTS EXTERIOR
THEOREM

The measure of an angle


formed by two tangents that
intersect in the exterior of a
circle is one-half the difference
of its intercepted arc.

m<DCB = (m -
EXAMPLE

Find the measure of < x.


<x=-
=

<x=
Theorem 2 THE INTERSECTING SECANTS EXTERIOR
THEOREM

The measure of an angle


formed by two secants that
intersect in the exterior of a
circle is one-half the difference
of its intercepted arc.

m<CAE = (m -
Two secants extend from the same point and intersect the circle as shown
EXAMPLE in the diagram below . What is the value of x?

m<x=-
=

m<x=
Theorem 3 THE TANGENT POINT-SECANT THEOREM

The measure of an angle


formed by a tangent and a
secant drawn at the point of
contact is one-half the measure
ABA of its intercept arc.

m <BAD = m
EXAMPLE

Find the measure of <JLK.


m < JLK =
=
m < JLK =
m < JLK =
Theorem 4 THE INTERSECTING SECANTS INTERIOR
THEOREM
The measure of an angle
formed by two secants
intersecting in the interior of
the circle is equal to one-half
the sum of the measures of its
intercepted arc.

m <DAC = (m +
EXAMPLE Find the measure of <GEF.

m < GEF =
=
m < GEF =
m < GEF =
Theorem 5 THE INTERSECTING TANGENT AND SECANT
EXTERIOR THEOREM
The measure of an angle
formed by a tangent and a
secant outside the circle is one-
half the measure of the
difference of its intercepted
arc.

m <XUV = m
EXAMPLE

m<x=-m
=

m<x=
