Chapter 10: Circles 10.1: Tangents to Circles
Learning Outcomes I will be able to identify segments and lines related to circles.
Vocabulary Circle: A circles is a set of points that are equidistant from a given point, called the center.
Vocabulary Radius: This is the distance from the center of the circle to a point on the circle. Two circles are considered congruent if they have the same radius.
Vocabulary Diameter: The diameter is the distance across the circle through the center. The diameter is twice the radius, or d = 2r.
Vocabulary Chord: A chord is a segment whose endpoints are points on a circle. In this example PR and PS are chords.
Vocabulary Secant: A secant is a line that intersects a circle in two points.
Vocabulary Tangent: a tangent line is a line that intersects a circle at one point. Where the tangent line intersects a circle is called a point of tangency.
Common Tangents Common tangents are either external or internal. Internal External
Practice
Activity Draw a circle. Draw a line tangent to your circle. Draw the radius to your point of tangency. Think-Pair-Share What do you notice about the tangent line and the radius?
Properties of Tangent Lines
Is Line EF tangent to the circle? To determine this we use the Pythagorean Theorem to see if these three lengths form a right triangle. 11²+60² = 61² 121 + 3600 3721 = 3721 Since these lengths form a right triangle, EF is tangent to the circle
Find the Radius of the circle. r² + 16² = (r+8) ² r² + 256 = r² + 16r + 64 -r² -r² 256 = 16r + 64 192 = 16r 12 = r The radius is 12.

Chapter 10.2 Arcs and Chords
Learning Outcomes I will be able to use arc addition postulate to find missing arc measurements I will be able to use properties involving congruent chord/arcs to find missing measurements.
Minor and Major Arcs A minor arc is an arc that is less than 180 degrees and is typically expressed with two letters. A major arc is an arc that is greater than 180 degrees and is typically expressed with three letters.
