Aim What are the formulas to find the measures of angles formed by tangents, secants, and chords? Draw and define a tangent, secant, and a chord.
VOCABULARY • TANGENT: a straight line or plane that touches a curve or curved surface at a point but does not intersect it at that point • SECANT: a straight line that intersects a curve at two or more points • CHORD: geometric line segment whose endpoints both lie on the curve
Tangent-Chord An angle formed by a tangent and a chord: a x
Two Secant An angle formed by two secants: b a x
Two Tangent An angle formed by two tangents: a b x
Tangent-Secant An angle formed a tangent and a secant: b x a
Two Chord b An angle formed by two chords: x a
