Angles of Circles

Front

What is the definition of an angle in a circle?

Back

An angle in a circle is formed by two rays (sides of the angle) that share a common endpoint (the vertex) and are positioned such that they extend from the center of the circle to the circumference.

What is the relationship between the central angle and the arc it subtends?

Back

The measure of a central angle is equal to the measure of the arc it subtends.

What is the relationship between the angles formed by two intersecting chords in a circle?

Back

The measure of the angle formed by two intersecting chords is equal to half the sum of the measures of the arcs intercepted by the angle and its vertical angle.

What is the definition of a tangent to a circle?

Back

A tangent to a circle is a line that touches the circle at exactly one point and is perpendicular to the radius at that point.

How do you find the measure of an exterior angle formed by two secants?

Back

The measure of an exterior angle formed by two secants is equal to half the difference of the measures of the intercepted arcs.
