5. 10.5 Segment Relationships in Circles
In 1901, divers near the Greek island of Antikythera discovered several fragments of ancient items. Using the mathematics of circles, scientists were able to calculate the diameters of the complete disks.
The following theorem describes the relationship among the four segments that are formed when two chords intersect in the interior of a circle.

Example 2: Art Application
The art department is contracted to construct a wooden moon for a play. One of the artists creates a sketch of what it needs to look like by drawing a chord and its perpendicular bisector. Find the diameter of the circle used to draw the outer edge of the moon.

12. 10.5 Segment Relationships in Circles
A secant segment is a segment of a secant with at least one endpoint on the circle. An external secant segment is a secant segment that lies in the exterior of the circle with one endpoint on the circle.

Example 4: Applying the Secant-Tangent Product Theorem
Find the value of x.
ML  JL = KL2
20(5) = x2
100 = x2
±10 = x
The value of x must be 10 since it represents a length.
