Tangent - Tangent Theorem

• Two intersecting tangents are equal to each other

• AB = CB

Fill in the Blanks

Central angle: angle=arc

Central angles have a vertex at the center of the circle. The arc created by the two radii is equal to the angle.

Fill in the Blanks

Inscribed Angle: angle=1/2*arc or arc=2*angle

Inscribed angles must have a vertex touching the circle. The angle is half of the outside arc or the arc is twice the angle inside.

Fill in the Blanks

Two Tangents: angle+arc=180

Two tangents create an angle and an arc (small arc). These two added together always equal 180.

Fill in the Blanks

External: angle=1/2(big arc - little arc)

When two secants meet outside of a circle, the angle is equal to half of the different of the arcs.

Fill in the Blanks

Internal: angle=1/2(big arc + little arc)

When two secants meet inside the circle, the angle is equal to half of the sum of the arcs.

Fill in the Blanks

Inscribed Quadrilateral: opposite angles =180

When a quadrilateral is inscribed in a circle, the opposite angles always add to 180.

Multiple Select

Select all equations that can be used to solve for x and y in the following inscribed quadrilateral.

• x+55=180

• y+85=180

• x+85=180

• y+55=180

From the Equation

• Make the signs on h and k OPPOSITE to get the center

• Take the SQUARE ROOT of r² to get the radius

• If you don't SEE a h or k, then that means the coordinate is ZERO.

• (x - 2)² + (y + 5)² = 36

• (x - 5)² + (y + 2)² = 6

• (x + 5)² + (y - 2)² = 36

• (x + 2)² + (y - 5)² = 6

Multiple Choice
