- Slides: 9
Section 6. 2 More Angle Measures in a Circle • Tangent is a line that intersects a circle at exactly one point; the point of intersection is the point of contact, or point of tangency. • Secant is a line (or segment or ray) that intersects a circle at exactly two points. 9/26/2020 Section 6. 2 Nack 1
Polygons Inscribed in a Circle • A polygon is inscribed in a circle if its vertices are points on the circle and its sides are chords of the circle. • Equivalent statement: A circle is circumscribed about the polygon • Cyclic polygon: the polygon inscribed in the circle. • Theorem 6. 2. 1: If a quadrilateral is inscribed in a circle, the opposite angles are supplementary. Proof p. 290 9/26/2020 Section 6. 2 Nack 2
Polygons Circumscribed about a circle • A polygon is circumscribed about a circle if all sides of the polygon are line segments tangent to the circle; the circle is said to be inscribed in the polygon. 9/26/2020 Section 6. 2 Nack 3
Measure of an Angle Formed by Two Chords that Intersect Within a Circle • Theorem 6. 2. 2: The measure of an angle formed by two chords that intersect within a circle is one-half the sum of the measures of the arcs intercepted by the angle and its vertical angle. P. 291 1. Proof: Draw CB. 1. Two points determine a line 2. m 1 = m 2 + m 3 2. 1 is an exterior of ΔCBE. 3. m 2 = ½ m DB 3. 2 and 3 are inscribed m 3 = ½ m AC ‘s of O. 4. m 1 = 4. Substitution ½ (m DB + m AC) Ex. 1 p. 291 9/26/2020 Section 6. 2 Nack 4
Theorems with Tangents and Secants • Theorem 6. 2. 3: The radius or diameter drawn to a tangent at the point of tangency is perpendicular to the tangent at that point. See Fig. 6. 29 (a, b, c) Ex. 2 p. 292 – Corollary 6. 2. 4: The measure of an angle formed by a tangent and a chord drawn to the point of tangency is one-half the measure of the intercepted arc. Example 3 p. 293 9/26/2020 Section 6. 2 Nack 5
Measures of Angles formed by Secants. • Theorem 6. 2. 5: The measure of an angle formed when two secants intersect at a point outside the circle is onehalf the difference of the measures of the two intersecting arcs. Given: Secants AC and DC Prove: m C = ½(m AD – m BE) 1. Draw BD to form ΔBCD 2. m 1 = m C + m D m C = m 1 - m D 3. m 1 = ½m AD m D= ½ m BE 4. m C= ½m AD - ½ m BE m C= ½(m AD – m BE) 1. Two points determine a line 2. Exterior angles of ΔBCD 3. Addition Property 4. Inscribed Angles are ½ the intersected arc. 5. Substitution 6. Distributive Law 9/26/2020 Section 6. 2 Nack 6
• Theorem 6. 2. 6: If an angle is formed by a secant and a tangent that intersect in the exterior of a circle, then the measure of the angle is one-half the difference of the measure of its intercepted arcs. • Theorem 6. 2. 7: If an angle is formed by two intersecting tangents, then the measure of the angle is one-half the difference of the measures of the intercepted arcs. • NOTE: The angle measurement method for ANY 2 exterior lines intersecting a circle is the SAME!

Parallel Chords • Theorem 6. 2. 8: If two parallel lines intersect in a circle, the intercepted arcs between these lines are congruent. If AB || CD then AC ≅ BD 9/26/2020 Section 6. 2 Nack 8
