Circle Theorems. The three theorems for the intercepted arcs to the angle of two tangents, two secants or 1 tangent and 1 secant are summarized by the pictures below. If you look at each theorem, you really only need to remember ONE formula.

Tangent of a Circle: Formula. How can we find the tangent of a circle? The “tangent-secant theorem” explains the relationship between a tangent and a secant of the same circle. Let’s consider a circle with P as any exterior point, PQ is a tangent, and AB is a secant drawn from external point P. Here, PA is the external secant segment.
Tangents and secants are the lines that cut the circle and extend in both directions infinitely. The main difference between them is that a secant cuts the circle at two points, whereas, a tangent cuts the circle at one point. The tangent is perpendicular to the radius at the point of the tangency.
Formula: a • b = c • d Proof: If a secant segment and tangent segment are drawn to a circle from the same external point, the length of the tangent segment is the geometric mean between the length of the secant segment and the length of the external part of the secant segment.
3 Αυγ 2023 · The formula to calculate the tangent of a circle is derived below: Suppose a point ‘T’ lies outside the circle. From that point, we will draw two tangents to the circle. In the given figure, if ‘RT’ is the secant and ‘QT’ is the tangent of the circle, then the relation between the secant and the tangent is given as: RT/QT = QT/PT.
A line that touches the circle at a single point is known as a tangent to a circle. The point where tangent meets the circle is called point of tangency. The tangent is perpendicular to the radius of the circle, with which it intersects. Tangent can be considered for any curved shapes.
15 Ιουν 2022 · Tangent Secant Segment Theorem: If a tangent and a secant are drawn from a common point outside the circle (and the segments are labeled like the picture below), then \(a^2=b(b+c)\). Figure \(\PageIndex{1}\)
