Segments of Secants Theorems

Which of the following statement is true?

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

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

• If a secant and a tangent intersect in the exterior of a circle, then the measure of the angle formed is the sum of the measures of the intercepted arcs.

Which of the following statement is false?

• If two secants intersect in the interior of a circle, then the measure of an angle formed is one-half the sum of the measures of the arcs intercepted by the angle and its vertical angle.

• If a secant and tangent intersect at the point of tangency, then the measure of each angle formed is one-half the measure of its intercepted arc.

• 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 secants intersect in the exterior of a circle then the measure of the angle formed is one-half the positive sum of the measures of the intercepted arcs.
