Properties and Theorems of Circles

This video tutorial covers the properties of arcs, chords, and tangents in circles. It explains the perpendicular relationship between tangents and radii, and demonstrates how to verify if a segment is tangent using the Pythagorean theorem. The tutorial also shows how to find the radius of a circle and discusses the congruence of intersecting tangent segments.

In the second example, why is segment AB not tangent to the circle?

• Because AB is not parallel to BC
