Homework Review Tangents
No points of intersection (same center) Concentric Circles Same center but different radii
More Pythagorean Theorem type problems! Yeah!! Point of Tangency More Pythagorean Theorem type problems! Yeah!! If a line (segment or ray) is tangent to a circle, then it is perpendicular to the radius drawn to the point of tangency.
1. Find x A 12 B 9 a2 + b2 = c2 x 92 + 122 = x2 x = 15
RQ = 16 2. Find RQ a2 + b2 = c2 P 12 8 R Q 122 + (QR)2 = (8+12)2
3. Is BC tangent to the circle? a2 + b2 = c2 ? No A 32 C 16 24 B
S If two segments from the same exterior point are tangent to a circle, then they are congruent. R T Party hat problems!
