Question | Answer |
---|---|
tangent | a line in the plane of a circle that intersects the circle in exactly one point. |
secant | a line that intersects a circle in two points |
radius | a segment whose endpoints are the center and any point on the circle |
chord | a segment whose endpoints are on a circle |
diameter | a chord that contains the center of the circle |
common internal tangent | goes between the circles |
common external tangent | goes on the same side of the outside of the circles |
point of tangency | the point of which a tangent touches a circle |
circle with right triangle with radius as one side | pythagorean theorem |
tangents that meet at one point | set equal |
semicircle | =180* |
minor arc | <180 |
major arc | >180 |
an inscribed angle is always - the measure of the intercepted arc | 1/2 |
inscribed angles | if two inscribed angles are intercepting the same arc, then they are congruent |
inscribed triangles | if one side of the triangle is the diameter, it is a right triangle |
chords | 1. if one chord is the perpendicular bisector of another chord, then it is a diameter 2. if a diameter is perpendicular to another chord, then it bisects the chord |
equidistant chords | in the same circle or congruent circlestwo chords are congruent if and only if they are equidistant to the center of the circle |
