1. 6.5 Other Angle Relationships in Circles
Geometry

2. Objectives/Assignment
Use angles formed by tangents and chords to solve problems in geometry.
Use angles formed by lines that intersect a circle to solve problems.

3. Using Tangents and Chords
You know that measure of an angle inscribed in a circle is half the measure of its intercepted arc. This is true even if one side of the angle is tangent to the circle.
mADB = ½m

4. Theorem 10.12
If a tangent and a chord intersect at a point on a circle, then the measure of each angle formed is one half the measure of its intercepted arc.
m1= ½m
m2= ½m

5. Ex. 1: Finding Angle and Arc Measures
Line m is tangent to the circle. Find the measure of the red angle or arc.
Solution:
m1= ½
m1= ½ (150°)
m1= 75°
150°

6. Ex. 1: Finding Angle and Arc Measures
Line m is tangent to the circle. Find the measure of the red angle or arc.
Solution:
m = 2(130°)
m = 260°
130°

7. Ex. 2: Finding an Angle Measure
In the diagram below,

Solution:
mCBD = ½ m
5x = ½(9x + 20)
10x = 9x +20
x = 20
 mCBD = 5(20°) = 100°

8. Lines Intersecting Inside or Outside a Circle
If two lines intersect a circle, there are three (3) places where the lines can intersect.
on the circle

9. Inside the circle

10. Outside the circle

11. Lines Intersecting
You know how to find angle and arc measures when lines intersect
ON THE CIRCLE.
You can use the following theorems to find the measures when the lines intersect
INSIDE or OUTSIDE the circle.

12. Theorem 6.13
If two chords intersect in the interior of a circle, then the measure of each angle is one half the sum of the measures of the arcs intercepted by the angle and its vertical angle.
m1 = ½ m m
m2 = ½ m m

13. Theorem 6.14
If a tangent and a secant, two tangents or two secants intercept in the EXTERIOR of a circle, then the measure of the angle formed is one half the difference of the measures of the intercepted arcs.
m1 = ½ m( m )

14. Theorem 6.14
If a tangent and a secant, two tangents or two secants intercept in the EXTERIOR of a circle, then the measure of the angle formed is one half the difference of the measures of the intercepted arcs.
m2 = ½ m( m )

15. Theorem 6.14
If a tangent and a secant, two tangents or two secants intercept in the EXTERIOR of a circle, then the measure of the angle formed is one half the difference of the measures of the intercepted arcs. 3
m3 = ½ m( m )

106°
Find the value of x
Solution:
x° = ½ (m m
x° = ½ (106° + 174°)

174°
Apply Theorem 10.13
Substitute values
Simplify

17. Ex. 4: Using Theorem 10.14 Find the value of x Solution:
200°
Find the value of x
Solution:
72° = ½ (200° - x°)
144 = x°
- 56 = -x
56 = x x°

72°
Apply Theorem 10.14
Substitute values.
Multiply each side by 2.
Subtract 200 from both sides.
Divide by -1 to eliminate negatives.

18. Ex. 4: Using Theorem 6.14 Find the value of x Solution: = ½ (268 - 92)
Because and make a whole circle, m =360°-92°=268° x°
