The tangent-chord theorem states that:

• The angle formed by a tangent and a chord is half of the measure of the intercepted arc

• Two tangents to a circle from the same point are equal in length

• The length of a tangent to a circle from a point outside the circle is equal to the radius of the circle

• None of the above
