Tangent and Secant Segments

1. The document contains examples demonstrating how to apply theorems to find unknown side lengths in circles, secants, tangents, and chords. 2. Warm up questions are provided to solve for variables. The document then works through multiple examples of applying the chord-chord product theorem, secant-secant product theorem, secant-tangent product theorem, and properties of tangent segments. 3. Worked examples are followed by practice problems for students to solve applying the same theorems. Diagrams are provided with questions about finding unknown values or side lengths.

A secant segment is a segment of a secant
with at least one endpoint on the circle.
An external secant segment is a secant
segment that lies in the exterior of the circle
with one endpoint on the circle.
Example 1: Applying the Secant-Secant
Product Theorem
Find the value of x and the length of each secant
segment.
16(7) = (8 + x)8
112 = 64 + 8x
48 = 8x

ED = 7 + 9 = 16
EG = 8 + 6 = 14
Example 2: Applying the Secant-Secant
Product Theorem
Find the value of z and the length
of each secant segment.

39(9) = (13 + z)13


351 = 169 + 13z
182 = 13z
14 = z
LG = 30 + 9 = 39
JG = 14 + 13 = 27
A tangent segment is a segment of a
tangent with one endpoint on the
circle. AB and AC are tangent
segments.
If the two tangent
segments are
drawn to a circle
from external
point, then the two
tangent segments
are congruent.
BC and DC are
tangent
