LESSON F: Segment Lengths in Circles During this lesson, you will find the lengths of segments of chords, tangents and secants in circles.
PART I: FINDING THE LENGTHS OF SEGMENTS OF CHORDS segments of a chord When two chords intersect in the interior of a circle, each chord is divided into two segments which are called______________________. . Name two segments of each chord in the diagram below:
RQ *XP = SR * RT x = 2 9 *x = 3 * 6 9x = 18
RP * RQ = RS * ST X = 8 9 * 20 = 10* ( X +10) 180 = 10X + 100 80 = 10X
Example 4 Finding Segment Lengths (CB)2 = CE * (2r + 8) (20)2 = 8 * (2r + 8) 400 = 16r + 64 336 = 16r 21 ≈ r
12;15; 50 x + 8; 4 15,: 18: 12 2; 6 9;6 x + 3; x2; 1
