Front

Define a secant segment.

Back

A secant segment is a line segment that intersects a circle at two points.

Front

What is the relationship between secant segments and the lengths of the segments?

Back

The product of the lengths of the two segments of a secant is equal to the square of the length of the tangent segment.

Back

6

Front

What is a chord in a circle?

Back

A chord is a line segment whose endpoints lie on the circle.

Front

If two secant segments intersect outside a circle, how do you find the length of the segments?

Back

Multiply the lengths of the entire secant segment by the length of the external segment.
