Pick up pink notes.

Get ready for a warmup

Warm-up
Find

the error in the following

Definitions

A circle is the set of all points in a plane that are

equidistant from a given point called the center of the
circle.
Radius the distance from the center to a point on the
circle
Congruent circles circles that have the same radius.
Diameter the distance across the circle through its
center

Diagram of Important Terms

name of circle:

Definition

Chord a segment whose endpoints are points on the

circle.
B

A
AB is a chord

Definition

Secant a line that intersects a circle in two points.

N

MN is a secant

Definition

Tangent a line in the plane of a circle that intersects

the circle in exactly one point. T
S

ST is a tangent

Example 1

Tell whether the line or segment is best described as a chord, a

secant, a tangent, a diameter, or a radius.

Tangent

circles coplanar circles that intersect

in one point

Definition
Concentric

circles coplanar circles that have

the same center.

Definitions

Common tangent a line or segment that is tangent to two

coplanar circles

Common internal tangent intersects the segment that joins the

centers of the two circles
Common external tangent does not intersect the segment that joins
the centers of the two circles

common external tangent

common internal tangent

Example 2

Tell whether the common tangents are internal or external.

a.

common internal tangents

b.

common external tangents

More definitions
Interior

of a circle consists of the points that

are inside the circle
Exterior of a circle consists of the points that
are outside the circle

Definition

Point of tangency the point at which a tangent line

intersects the circle to which it is tangent

point of tangency

Perpendicular Tangent Theorem

If a line is tangent to a circle, then it is perpendicular to

the radius drawn to the point of tangency.
l

P
Q
If l is tangent to

Q at P, then l QP.

Perpendicular Tangent Converse

In a plane, if a line is perpendicular to a radius of a

circle at its endpoint on the circle, then the line is
tangent to the circle.
l
P
Q
If l QP at P, then l is tangent to

Q.

Example 3
Tell whether CE is tangent to

D.

Use the converse of the Pythagorean

Theorem to see if the triangle is right.

CED is not right, so CE is not tangent to

D.

Congruent Tangent Segments Theorem

If two segments from the same exterior point are

tangent to a circle, then they are congruent.

If SR and ST are tangent to

P, then SR ST.
