    1. The document outlines several theorems regarding angles, arcs, chords, sectors, segments, inscribed angles, tangent lines, and angles formed by tangents and secants in circles. 2. Key relationships include that central angles are congruent if their arcs or chords are congruent, the measure of an inscribed angle is half the measure of its intercepted arc, and if two secants intersect outside a circle the angle measure is half the difference of intercepted arcs. 3. Theorems are also presented for tangent lines, intersecting chords, secant segments, and the products of lengths of secants and tangents drawn from an exterior point to a circle.

    Theorems on Central Angles, Arcs, and Chords:

    1. In a circle or in congruent circles, two minor arcs are congruent if and only if
    their corresponding central angles are congruent.

    2. In a circle or in congruent circles, two minor arcs are congruent if and only if
    their corresponding chords are congruent.

    3. In a circle, a diameter bisects a chord and an arc with the same endpoints if and
    only if it is perpendicular to the chord.

    Arc Addition Postulate:

    1. The measure of an arc formed by two adjacent arcs is the sum of the measures
    of the two arcs.

    Sector and Segment of a Circle

    1. A sector of a circle is the region bounded by an arc of the circle and the two
    radii to the endpoints of the arc.

    2. A segment of a circle is the region bounded by an arc and the segment joining
    its endpoints.

    Theorems on Inscribed Angles:

    1. If an angle is inscribed in a circle, then the measure of the angle equals one-half
    the measure of its intercepted arc.

    2. If two inscribed angles of a circle (or congruent circles) intercept congruent arcs
    or the same arc, then the angles are congruent.

    3. If an inscribed angle of a circle intercepts a semicircle, then the angle is a right


    angle.
    4. If a quadrilateral is inscribed in a circle, then its opposite angles are
    supplementary.

    Theorems on Tangent Line:

    1. If a line is tangent to a circle, then it is perpendicular to the radius drawn to the


    point of tangency.

    2. If a line is perpendicular to a radius of a circle at it's endpoint that is on the


    circle, then the line is tangent to the circle.

    3. If two segments from the same exterior point are tangent to a circle, then the
    two segments are congruent.

    Theorems on Angles Formed by Tangents and Secants

    1. If two secants intersect in the exterior of a circle, then the measure of the angle
    formed is one-half the positive difference of the measures of the intercepted arcs.

    2. If a secant and a tangent intersect in the exterior of a circle, then the measure
    of the angle formed is one-half the positive difference of the measures of the
    intercepted arcs.

    3. If two tangents intersect in the exterior of a circle, then the measure of the
    angle formed is one-half the positive difference of the measures of the
    intercepted arcs.

    4. If two secants intersect in the interior of a circle, then the measure of the angle
    formed is one-half the sum of the measures of the arcs intercepted by the angle
    and its vertical angle.

    5. If a secant and a tangent intersect at a point of tangency, then the measure of


    each angle formed is one-half the measure of its intercepted arc.
    Theorem on Two Intersecting Chords:

    1. If two chords of a circle intersect, then the product of the measures of the
    segments of one chord is equal to the product of the measures of the segments of
    the other chord.

    External Secant Segment:

    1. An external secant segment is the part of a secant segment that is outside a


    circle.

    Theorems on Secant Segments, Tangent Segments and External Secant


    Segments:

    1. If two secant segments are drawn to a circle from an exterior point, then the
    product of the lengths of one secant segment and its external secant segment is
    equal to the product of the lengths of the other secant segment and its external
    secant segment.

    2. If a tangent segment and a secant segment are drawn to a circle from an


    exterior point, then the square of the length of the tangent segment is equal to
    the product of the lengths of the secant segment and its external secant segment.
