Secants and Tangets Math 10

Here are the steps to find the indicated measures: 1. m∠BMT = 1/2 * 100 = 50° 2. m∠BML = 1/2 * 204 = 102° 3. m∠BML = 1/2 * 118 = 59° 4. mBKM = 2 * 98 = 196° 5. mBM = 2 * 75 = 150° 6. mBM cannot be determined since an angle cannot measure 300°

 a tangent line to a circle is a line that

touches the circle at exactly one point, never


entering the circle's interior.

 Tangent lines to circles form the subject of


several theorems, and play an important role in
many geometrical constructions and proofs.

 Tangent lines are perpendicular to the radius


 In geometry, a secant is a line that intersects a curve at
a minimum of two distinct points.

 The word secant comes from the Latin word secare,


meaning to cut.

 In the case of a circle, a secant intersects the circle


at exactly two points.
