10.6 Secants, Tangents, and Angle Measures
Then: You found measures of segments formed by tangents to a circle. Now: Find measures of angles formed by lines intersecting on or inside a circle. Find measures of angles formed by line intersecting outside the circle.
2
Intersections On or Inside a Circle
Secant: a line that intersects a circle in exactly two points. Measures of the angles formed by secants and tangents are related to the intercepted arcs.
3
Theorem 10.12

Example 1: Use Intersecting Chords or Secants
Find each measure. Assume that segments that appear to be tangent are tangent. a. m1

Example 2: c. m6
9
Intersection Outside a Circle
When secants and tangents intersect outside a circle, they make angles whose measures are related to the intercepted arcs.
10
Theorem 10.14 If two secants, a secant and a tangent, or two tangents 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. Two Secants:
