PROVING THEOREMS ON SECANTS AND ANGLES

General Instruction: Write your answer on a sheet of paper, take a photo of it then upload it
to our google classroom.

I. Complete the table below to prove the given statement. Copy the statement and reason only.

1. If two segments from the same exterior point are tangent to a circle, then the two
segments are congruent.

Statement Reason Task

FB and FS are tangent

to M at B and S
respectively.
Radii o the Indicate which radii
same circle are congruent.
are
congruent.

⊥ and _____________ Indicate the

⊥ BM property that
justifies the
statement

____________ Hypotenuse- Name the

Leg congruent
Congruence triangles

_____________ Write the reason why

they become
congruent.

2. If two chords of a circle intersect, then the product of the measures of the
segments of one chord is equal to the product of the measures of the segments
of the other chord.
Given: and are chords of D intersecting at O.
Prove: CO • OS = RO • OH

To Prove: Draw and

3. If two secants intersect in the interior of a circle, then the measure of an angle
formed is one-half the sum of the measures of the arcs intercepted by the
angle and its vertical angle.

Given: and are secants Intersecting in the interior of .

Prove: m PTS = 12(mGL+ mAS)
