1. Tangent and Chord Properties
Segments and Lines in relation to circles

2. Review of Terms and Ideas

3. Tangent
Line or segment that touches a circle at one point ( point of tangency) This line or segment is perpendicular to the radius at this point

4. Tangent Segments
Two segments tangent to a circle from the same point outside the circle are congruent. These lines would form an Isosceles Triangle, Why?

5. Tangent Circles
Two circles that are tangent to each other, touch at only 1 point Internally Tangent – one circle inside the other Externally Tangent

6. Example

7. Example

8. Central Angle and Minor Arc
Central angle is the same as the arc it forms, formed by 2 radii at the center Minor arc is angle formed on the circle between the two radii, same as the central angle

9. Central Angle
Has vertex at the center of the circle, both sides are radii of the circle

10. Chords
Segment insides a circle, connecting two points on the circle Diameter is the longest chord in a circle

11. Inscribed Angles
Vertex of angle is on the circle and sides are chords of the circle

12. Chord Central Angle
If two chords in a circle are congruent, then they determine two central angles that are congruent

13. Chord Arcs
If two chords in a circle are congruent, then their intercepted arcs are congruent

14. Chord Distance to Center
Two Congruent chords in a circle are equidistant to the center of the circle

15. Perpendicular to a Chord
The radius perpendicular to the chord will bisect the chord

16. Perpendicular Bisector of a Chord
The perpendicular bisector of a chord passes through the center of the circle

19. Terms
Congruent Circles – same radius length Concentric Circles – same center different radii Radius – segment from center to any point on circle Chord – segment connecting any 2 points on circle Diameter- chord that goes through the center of the circle Tangent – segment or line that touches the circle at one point Central Angle – is the angle formed by 2 radii at the center of the circle Minor Arc – arc formed between 2 radii, measured in degrees Major Arc – larger arc formed by 2 radii Semicircle – half of a circle formed by diameter
