Circle Segments and Tangent Properties

The video tutorial begins with a review of circle segments and introduces more complex problems. The first practice problem involves using the chord-chord rule to find the value of x. The second problem applies the secant-tangent rule, requiring the calculation of a tangent length using a secant segment. The instructor encourages students to pause and solve problems independently, using the video as a guide for checking their work.
