Tangent - Tangent Theorem

• AB = CB

Fill in the Blank

Solve for x.

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 Blank

What is x?

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 Blank

What is x?

Two Tangents: angle+arc=180

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

What is x equal to?

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 Blank

What is the measure of the missing angle?

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 Blank

What is the measure of the internal angle?

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.

Multiple Choice

• (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
