Secant – A line that intersects a circle in exactly 2 points.

•EF or AB are secants

•AB is a chord

Solve for k first.

w(w + x) = y(y + z)

9(9 + 12) = 8(8 + k)

186 = 64 + 8k

k = 15.6

Next solve for r

t2 = y(y + z)

r2 = 8(8 + 15.6)

r2 = 189

r = 13.7

Lastly solve for ma

m1 = ½(x - y)

ma = ½(175 – 60)

ma = 57.5°

When dealing with angle measures formed by When dealing with angle measures formed by intersecting secants or tangents you either add intersecting secants or tangents you either add or subtract the intercepted arcs depending on or subtract the intercepted arcs depending on where the lines intersect.where the lines intersect.

There are 3 formulas to solve for segments There are 3 formulas to solve for segments lengths inside of circles, it depends on which lengths inside of circles, it depends on which segments you are dealing with: Secants, segments you are dealing with: Secants, Chords, or Tangents.Chords, or Tangents.
