Use Properties of Tangents Lesson 6.1 Pg 182
Vocabulary • Circle- the set of all pts in a plane that are equidistant from a given pt. called the center of the circle. • Radius- segment whose endpoints are the center and any point on the circle • Diameter- a chord that contains the center of the circle. • Two polygons are similar if corresponding angles are congruent and corresponding side lengths are proportional. ΔABC ΔDEF
P is the center of the circle Segment AB is a diameter B P Segments AP, PB, and PC are radii A C
Chord • Chord- a segment whose endpoints are on the circle. B A
Secant • Secant- a line that intersects a circle in 2 pts B A
Tangent • Tangent- a line in the plane of the circle that intersects the circle in exactly one point, called the point of tangency.
Pt of tangency- pt where tangent intersects a circle Pt T is the pt of tangency T
Exampletell whether the segment is best described as a chord, secant, tangent, diameter or radius • Segment AH • Segment EI • Segment DF • Segment CE H tangent Diameter E Chord B G radius C I F A D
More Definitions • Tangent circles- circles that intersect in one pt • Concentric circles- circles that have a common center but different radii lengths • Common tangent- a line or segment that is tangent to two circles • Common internal tangent- a tangent that intersects the segment that connects the centers of the circles • Common external tangent- does not intersect the segment that connects the centers

Theorem 6.1 • In a plane, a line is tangent to a circle if and only if it is perpendicular to a radius of the circle at its endpoint on the circle.
ExampleIs segment CE tangent to circle D? Explain E 11 43 D 45 C 112+432=452 121+1849=2025 1970=2050 NO
Examplesolve for the radius, r B 28ft r C A r 14ft r2+282=(r+14)2 r2+ 784=r2+ 28r+196 784=28r+196 588=28r 21=r
Theorem 6.2 • Tangent segments from a common external point are congruent.
