Find the lengths of segments of chords.

Find the lengths of segments of tangents and secants

Finding the Lengths of Chords

When two chords

of a circle intersect,

each chord is divided into two segments which are called segments of a chord.

There are several possible cases. Slide4

Theorem 9.14

If two chords intersect in the interior of a circle, then the product of the lengths of the segments of one chord is equal to the product of the lengths of the segments of the other chord.

Simplify.

Divide each side by 9.Slide6

Using Segments of Tangents and Secants

In the figure shown, PS is called a

tangent segment

because it is tangent to the circle at an end point. Similarly, PR is a

secant segment

and PQ is the

external segment of PR.Slide7

Theorem 9.15

If two secant segments share the same endpoint outside a circle

,

then the product of the length of one secant segment and the length of its external segment equals the product of the length of the other secant segment and the length of its external segment.

Theorem 9.16

If a secant segment and a tangent segment share an endpoint outside a circle, then the product of the length of the secant segment and the length of its external segment equal the square of the length of the tangent segment.

Use Theorem 10.16

Substitute values.

180

= 10x + 100

80 = 10x

Simplify.

Subtract 100 from each side.

8 = x

Divide each side by 10.Slide10

Note:

In Lesson 10.1, you learned how to use the Pythagorean Theorem to estimate the radius of a

circle.

Example 3 shows you another way to estimate the radius of a circular object.Slide11

Estimating the radius of a circle

Aquarium Tank. You are standing at point C, about 8 feet from a circular aquarium tank. The distance from you to a point of tangency is about 20 feet. Estimate the radius of the tank.Slide12
