How do we identify segments and lines related to circles? How do we use properties of a tangent to a circle?

Definitions

A circle is the set of all points in a plane that are equidistant from a given point called the center of the circle. Radius the distance from the center to a point on the circle Congruent circles circles that have the same radius. Diameter the distance across the circle through its center

Definitions

Common tangent a line or segment that is tangent to two coplanar circles

Common internal tangent intersects the segment that joins the centers of the two circles Common external tangent does not intersect the segment that joins the centers of the two circles

common external tangent


common internal tangent

Checkpoint 2 (CE)

Tell whether the common tangents are internal or external. a. b.

common internal tangents

common external tangents

More definitions

Interior of a circle consists of the points that are inside the circle Exterior of a circle consists of the points that are outside the circle

Definition

Point of tangency the point at which a tangent line intersects the circle to which it is tangent

point of tangency

Perpendicular Tangent Theorem

If a line is tangent to a circle, then it is perpendicular to the radius drawn to the point of tangency. l

P Q
If l is tangent to Q at P, then l QP.

Perpendicular Tangent Converse

In a plane, if a line is perpendicular to a radius of a circle at its endpoint on the circle, then the line is tangent to the circle. l
P Q
If l QP at P, then l is tangent to Q.
