The document summarizes key definitions and properties related to circles and tangents to circles:
- It defines circles, radii, diameters, chords, secants, and tangents. It also defines tangent circles and common tangents.
- It states theorems about tangents, including that a tangent line is perpendicular to the radius at the point of tangency, and a line perpendicular to the radius at a point on the circle is a tangent.
- It provides examples demonstrating identifying special segments and lines related to circles, identifying common tangents, and using properties of tangents to solve problems.
