2.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
State the Tangent-Secant Theorem.
Back
The Tangent-Secant Theorem states that if a tangent and a secant intersect at a point outside a circle, 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 part.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the formula for finding the angle formed by two intersecting chords?
Back
The angle formed by two intersecting chords is equal to half the sum of the measures of the arcs intercepted by the angle and its vertical angle.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
If two chords intersect inside a circle, how do you find the lengths of the segments?
Back
The products of the lengths of the segments of each chord are equal. If chord AB intersects chord CD at point E, then AE * EB = CE * ED.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the relationship between the angles formed by two secants that intersect outside a circle?
Back
The angle formed by two secants that intersect outside a circle is equal to half the difference of the measures of the intercepted arcs.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
How do you calculate the length of a tangent segment from a point outside the circle?
Back
The length of the tangent segment can be calculated using the formula: length = √(distance from the point to the center of the circle² - radius²).
