Which of the following statement is false?

• If two chords intersect in a circle then the ratio of the lengths of the chords segments are equal.

• If a secant and a tangent intersect in the exterior of a circle, then the measure of the angle formed is one-half the positive difference of the measures of the intercepted arcs.

• If two tangents intersect in the exterior of a circle, then the measure of the angle formed is one-half the positive difference of the measures of the intercepted arcs.

• If a tangent and a secant intersect in the exterior of a circle then the square of the measure of the tangent is equal to the product of the measures of the secant and its external secant segment.
