1 10.5 Segment Lengths in Circles
CAS 4, 7, 21 10.5 Segment Lengths in Circles Goal 1: Find the lengths of segments of chords Goal 2: Find the lengths of segments of tangents and secants.

2 Segments of a Chord When two chords intersect in the interior of a circle, each chord is divided into two segments which are called segments of a chord. is a segment of a chord B C E A D

3 Theorem 10.15 If two chords intersect in the interior of a circle, then the product of the lengths of the segments of one chord is equal to the product of the lengths of the segments of the other chord.. B C E A D

4 Segments of Tangents and Secants
R Tangent Segments- are tangent to the circle at an endpoint. External Secant Segment is the segment of the secant outside of the circle. External secant segment Q P tangent segment S

5 Theorem 10.16 If two secant segments share the same endpoint outside a circle, then the product of the length of one secant segment and the length of its external segment equals the product of the length of the other secant segments and the length of its external segment. B EB A E C D ED

6 Theorem 10.17 A If a secant segment and a tangent segment share an endpoint outside a circle, then the product of the length of the secant segment and the length of its external segment equals the square of the length of the tangent segment. E C D ED
