SUMMARISED NOTE
The measure of an angle inscribed in a circle is half the measure of the arc subtending it.
An angle formed by a tangent and a chord drawn from the point of tangency is half the arc it
intercepts.
The measure of an angle formed by the intersection of two chords inside a circle is half the sum
of the measures of the arcs subtending the angle and its vertically opposite angle.
Exercises
1. An angle formed by two intersecting chords within a circle is and one of the
intercepted arc measures then find the measure of the other intercepted arc.
2. In the above figure, if AB//PQ, m (<BOQ) = , PQ = 5units, m ( ̂ ) = , and O is
the center of the circle, then find a) m (<AOP) b) the length of ̅̅̅̅.
LESSON OBJECTIVE/S: At the end of this lesson the student will be able to define terms and
solve problems related to circles, lines and angles.
SUMMARISED NOTE
The measure of an angle formed by the lines of two chords intersecting outside a circle is half the
difference of the measures of the arcs they intercept.
The measure of an angle formed by a tangent and a secant drawn to a circle from a point outside
a circle is equal to one half the difference of the measure of the intercepted arcs.
If a secant and a tangent are drawn from a point outside a circle, then the square of the length of
the tangent is equal to the product of the lengths of the line segments.
1. If ̅̅̅̅ is tangent to the circle, ̅̅̅̅ and ̅̅̅̅ secant lines, ̅̅̅̅ chord, ̅̅̅̅ = 6, ̅̅̅̅ = 4, ̅̅̅̅ = 8,
̅̅̅̅ = 9 and ̅̅̅̅ = 3units, then then find ̅̅̅̅ ̅̅̅̅ and ̅̅̅̅.
SUMMARIZED NOTE
An angle formed by the intersection of two secant and tangent lines outside the circle can
be determined by the following formulas:
Example: If ̅̅̅̅ = 12cm, ̅̅̅̅ = 10cm and ̅̅̅̅ = 14cm, then find the lengths of ̅̅̅̅ ̅̅̅̅ .
