Lines Intersecting Inside or Outside a Circle
If two lines intersect a circle, there are three (3) places where the lines can intersect. on the circle

Inside the circle
5
Outside the circle
6
Lines Intersecting You know how to find angle and arc measures when lines intersect ON THE CIRCLE. You can use the following theorems to find the measures when the lines intersect INSIDE or OUTSIDE the circle.
7
Theorem If two 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. m1 = ½ m m m2 = ½ m m
8
Theorem If a tangent and a secant, two tangents or two secants intercept 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. m1 = ½ m( m )
9
Theorem If a tangent and a secant, two tangents or two secants intercept 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. m2 = ½ m( m )
10
Theorem If a tangent and a secant, two tangents or two secants intercept 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. 3 m3 = ½ m( m )

106° Find the value of x Solution: x° = ½ (m m x° = ½ (106° + 174°) x = 140 x° 174° Apply Theorem 10.13 Substitute values Simplify

and are tangent to the Earth. You can solve right ∆BCA to see that mCBA 87.9°. So, mCBD 175.8°. Let m = x° using Trig Ratios
17
From the peak, you can see an arc about 4°.
175.8 ½[(360 – x) – x] 175.8 ½(360 – 2x) 175.8 180 – x x 4.2 Apply Theorem Simplify. Distributive Property. Solve for x. From the peak, you can see an arc about 4°.

Finding the Lengths of Chords
When two chords intersect in the interior of a circle, each chord is divided into two segments which are called segments of a chord. The following theorem gives a relationship between the lengths of the four segments that are formed.
19
Theorem 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. EA • EB = EC • ED
20
Ex. 1: Finding Segment Lengths
Chords ST and PQ intersect inside the circle. Find the value of x. RQ • RP = RS • RT Use Theorem 10.15 Substitute values. 9 • x = 3 • 6 9x = 18 x = 2 Simplify. Divide each side by 9.
21
Using Segments of Tangents and Secants
In the figure shown, PS is called a tangent segment because it is tangent to the circle at an end point. Similarly, PR is a secant segment and PQ is the external segment of PR.
22
Theorem 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 segment and the length of its external segment. EA • EB = EC • ED
23
Theorem 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 equal the square of the length of the tangent segment. (EA)2 = EC • ED
24
Ex. 2: Finding Segment Lengths
Find the value of x. RP • RQ = RS • RT Use Theorem 9•(11 + 9)=10•(x + 10) Substitute values. Simplify. 180 = 10x + 100 Subtract 100 from each side. 80 = 10x Divide each side by 10. 8 = x
25
Ex. 3: Estimating the radius of a circle
Aquarium Tank. You are standing at point C, about 8 feet from a circular aquarium tank. The distance from you to a point of tangency is about 20 feet. Estimate the radius of the tank.
26
Solution (CB)2 = CE • CD Use Theorem 10.17 (20)2 8 • (2r + 8)
Substitute values. Simplify. 400 16r + 64 Subtract 64 from each side. 336 16r Divide each side by 16. 21 r So, the radius of the tank is about 21 feet.
27
Ex. 4: Finding Segment Lengths (BA)2 = BC • BD Use Theorem 10.17
(5) = x • (x + 4) Substitute values. Simplify. 25 = x2 + 4x Write in standard form. 0 = x2 + 4x - 25 Use Quadratic Formula. x = x = Simplify. Use the positive solution because lengths cannot be negative. So, x = 3.39.
