C B A A 1.8 cm F B 7.0 cm C D 2.4 cm E THEOREM #2: If two segments from the same exterior point are tangent to a circle, then they are congruent. Example: Find the value of If AB = 1.8 cm, then AF = 1.8 cm AE = AF + FE AE = 1.8 + 7.0 = 8.8 cm If FE = 7.0 cm, then DE = 7.0 cm CE = CD + DE CE = 2.4 + 7.0 = 9.4 cm Lesson 8-3: Tangents
