Finding Circle Chord Secant Tangent Lengths

What is the formula to use when solving for a segment length of intersecting chords in a circle?

• ab=cd

• a(a+b)=c(c+d)

• a+b=c+d

Solve for x. (Hint: Length of Tangent Lines from the Same External Point)

• 42.4

• 52

• 52.3

• 42

What is the difference between a tangent line and a secant line?

• A secant intersects the circle twice; a tangent touches the circle once

• A tangent intersects the circle twice; a secant touches the circle once

• A secant goes through the center of the circle; a tangent does not

• A secant is outside the circle; a tangent is inside the circle

PA and PB are tangents of length 15cm to the circle with centre O. If PRO is a straight line with PR = 9cm, calculate the radius of the circle.

Match the following part of the circle with its correct label.

• Chord

• Radius

• Diameter

• Point S

• Center

• Tangent Line
