Finding the Lengths of Intersecting Chords

Finding the Lengths of Intersecting Chords Video

A chord is a segment that has its endpoints on the circle. In this video, you will learn that when two chords intersect each other inside a circle, the products of their segments are equal. Click the player button to begin.

Finding the Lengths of Intersecting Secants

Finding the Lengths of Intersecting Secants Video

A secant is a line that intersects a circle at two points. In this video, you will learn that when two secants intersect each other outside a circle, the products of their segments are equal. Click the player button to begin.

Finding the Lengths of Intersecting Secants and Tangents

Finding the Lengths of Intersecting Secants and Tangents Video

In this video, you will learn that if a tangent and a secant or if two secants intersect from a point outside of the circle, there are two useful theorems, or formulas, that relate to the side lengths of the two given segments - either tangent and secant, or secant and secant.

Finding the Lengths of Intersecting Tangents

Finding the Lengths of Intersecting Tangents Video

A tangent is a line that intersects a circle at exactly one point. In this video, you will learn that the measure of an angle formed by a secant and a tangent drawn from a point outside of a circle is half the difference of the intercepted arcs. Click the player button to begin.
