Relationships • 2 Tangents • If two tangent segments intersect at the same point, then the two tangent segments are congruent • Tangent = Tangent
Practice 16,000 mi N
Solution • Tangent = Tangent N = 16,000 mi
Relationships • 2 Secants • Product of the lengths of the secant segment and external secant segment is equal for both secants • Whole • Outside = Whole • Outside
Practice 60 m 50 m 55 m Y
Solution • Whole • Outside = Whole • Outside 110 m • 50 m = (Y + 55) • 55 m 5500 m = 55Y + 3025 2475 m = 55Y Y = 45 m
Relationships • Secant & Tangent • If a secant and a tangent intersect outside a circle then the product of the lengths of the secant segment and the external segment is equal to the tangent segment squared. • Whole • Outside = Tangent2
Practice 6 mi 4 mi P
Solution Whole • Outside = Tangent2 (P + 4)• 4 mi = (6 mi)² 4P + 16 = 36 mi 4P = 20 P = 5 mi
Relationships • 2 Chords • If two chords intersect inside a circle, then the product of the lengths of the segments of one chord equals the product of the lengths of the segments of the other chord • top • bottom = Left • Right t R L b
Practice 5 cm X 4 cm 3 cm
Solution Top • Bottom = Left • Right 5 cm • 3 cm = 4 cm • X X = 3.75 cm
