- 3. • A secant is a line that intersects a circle in two points. Line k is a secant. • A tangent is a line in the plane of a circle that intersects the circle in exactly one point. Line j is a tangent. Some definitions :-
- 4. • In a plane, two circles can intersect in two points, one point, or no points. Coplanar circles that intersect in one point are called tangent circles. Coplanar circles that have a common center are called concentric.
- 5. • A line or segment that is tangent to two coplanar circles is called a common tangent. A common internal tangent intersects the segment that joins the centers of the two circles. A common external tangent does not intersect the segment that joins the center of the two circles. Internally tangent Externally tangent
- 6. Circles that have a common center are called concentric circles. Concentric circles No points of intersection
- 7. Using properties of tangents The point at which a tangent line intersects the circle to which it is tangent is called the point of tangency. You will justify theorems in the exercises.
- 8. Q P Theorem 10.1 If a line is tangent to a circle, then it is perpendicular to the radius drawn to the point of tangency. If l is tangent to Q at point P, then l ⊥QP. l
- 9. Q P Theorem 10.2 In a plane, if a line is perpendicular to a radius of a circle at its endpoint on a circle, then the line is tangent to the circle. If l ⊥QP at P, then l is tangent to Q. l
- 10. Note: From a point in the circle’s exterior, you can draw exactly two different tangents to the circle. The following theorem tells you that the segments joining the external point to the two points of tangency are congruent.
- 11. Theorem 10.3 If two segments from the same exterior point are tangent to the circle, then they are congruent. IF SR and ST are tangent to P, then SR ST. P T S R

Prove: SR ST Statements: SR and ST are tangent to P SR RP, STTP RP = TP RP TP PS PS ∆PRS ∆PTS SR ST Proof of theorem 10.3 Given Tangent and radius are .

- 13. Circle – set of all points in a plane that are equidistant from a given point called a center of the circle. A circle with center P is called “circle P”, or P. The distance from the center to a point on the circle is called the radius of the circle. Two circles are congruent if they have the same radius. The distance across the circle, through its center is the diameter of the circle. The diameter is twice the radius. The terms radius and diameter describe segments as well as measures.
- 14. A chord is a segment whose endpoints are points on the circle. PS and PR are chords. A diameter is a chord that passes through the center of the circle. PR is a diameter. In a plane, the interior of a circle consists of the points that are inside the circle. The exterior of a circle consists of the points that are outside the circle. A radius is a segment whose endpoints are the center of the circle and a point on the circle. QP, QR, and QS are radii of Q. All radii of a circle are congruent. A B P Q R S
