THEOREM #2: If two segments from the same exterior point are tangent to a circle, then they are congruent. B C A Example: Find the value of If AB = 1.8 cm, then AF = 1.8 cm AE = AF + FE AE = = 8.8 cm If FE = 7.0 cm, then DE = 7.0 cm CE = CD + DE CE = = 9.4 cm 2.4 cm 1.8 7.0 E A C F B D Lesson 8-3: Tangents
