Intersecting secant and tangent line with vertices on, inside, or outside the circle

In this lesson we’ll look at angles whose sides intersect a circle in certain ways and how the measures of such angles are related to the measures of certain arcs of that circle.

As we work through this lesson, remember that a chord of a circle is a line segment that has both of its endpoints on the circle. Besides that, we’ll use the term secant for a line segment that has one endpoint outside the circle and intersects the circle at two points. Finally, we’ll use the term tangent for a line that intersects the circle at just one point.
