3 places where lines can intersect: On the circle Inside the circle
3 places where lines can intersect: Outside the circle
Theorem If 2 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.
Theorem If a tangent and a secant, two tangents, or two secants intersect 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.
