arcs

A tangent angle is the angle formed by two

lines tangent to a circle.

Equation of a Circle: r = (x-a) +

circle

A secant angle is the angle formed by two

the circumference of the circle

Radius-Chord
Conjectures
Congruent chords subtend
(intercept) the same arc
measure, and vice versa
If a radius is perpendicular to a
chord (not a diameter), then it
bisects the chord (and vice
versa).
Congruent chords are the same
distance from the center of the
circle (and vice versa).
