Chapter 10- Circles Flashcards
Measure of an inscribed angles theorem
The measure of an inscribed angle is half the measure of its intercepted arc
How can a quadrilateral be inscribed in a circle?
If and only if its opposite angles are supplementary
If a tangent and a chord intersect at a point on a circle, then the measure of each angle formed is ______
Half the measure of the intercepted arc
Angles inside the circle theorem
If two chords intersect inside a circle, then the measure of each angle is HALF the SUM of the measures of the arcs intercepted
Angles outside the circle theorem
If an angle is formed outside the circle by a tangent and a secant, two tangents, or two secants, then the measure of the angle formed is HALF the DIFFERENCE of the intercepted arcs
Segments of chords theorem
If two chords intersect inside a circle, then (AC)(CB)=(DC)(CE)
Segments of secants theorem
If two secant segments intersect outside the circle, then (AC)(AB)=(AE)(AD)
Segments of secants and tangents theorem
If a secant and a tangent intersect outside the circle, then (AD)(AC)=the length of the tangent squared
