Chapter 12.1 Tangent Lines
Vocabulary Tangent to a circle = a line in the plane of the circle that intersects the circle in exactly one point
Vocabulary Point of Tangency = point where a circle and a tangent intersect
Vocabulary Inscribed in = circle is inscribed in a triangle Circumscribed about = triangle is circumscribed about the circle
Theorem 12-1 If a line is tangent to a circle, then the line is perpendicular to the radius drawn to the point of tangency
Example #1 117 X Find X
Theorem 12.2 If a line in the plane of a circle is perpendicular to a radius at its endpoint on the circle, then the line is tangent to the circle
Example #2 Find X X
Theorem 12.3 The two segment tangent to a circle from a point outside the circle are congruent
Example #3 Find the perimeter of the triangle
Example #4 Find Y
