Example: Show a proof of the given theorem.

Given: ̅̅̅̅ ̅̅̅̅ are chords of ⊙ 𝐶
𝐴𝐵 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝐷𝐸 Note:
intersecting at M. Draw ̅̅̅̅
𝐴𝐸 𝑎𝑛𝑑 ̅̅̅̅
𝐵𝐷
Prove: 𝐴𝑀 ⋅ 𝐵𝑀 = 𝐷𝑀 ⋅ 𝐸𝑀
Proof:
Statement Reason
1
̂ and
𝑚 𝐵𝐴𝐸 = 2 (𝑚𝐵𝐸)
The measure of an inscribed angle is one-half the
1 measure of its intercepted arc.
𝑚 𝐵𝐷𝐸 = (𝑚𝐵𝐸) ̂
2
Inscribed angles intercepting the same arc are
𝐵𝐴𝐸 ≅ 𝐵𝐷𝐸
congruent.
△ 𝐴𝑀𝐸~ △ 𝐷𝑀𝐵 AA Similarity Theorem
𝐸𝑀 𝐵𝑀
= Lengths of sides of similar triangles are proportional
𝐴𝑀 𝐷𝑀
𝐴𝑀 ⋅ 𝐵𝑀 = 𝐷𝑀 ⋅ 𝐸𝑀 Multiplication Property

ACTIVITY: Show a proof of the given theorem.

1. If a tangent segment and a secant segment are drawn to a circle from an exterior point, then the
square of the length of the tangent secant is equal to the product of the length of the second segment
and its external secant segment.

̅̅̅̅ 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝐾𝑀
Given: 𝐾𝐿 ̅̅̅̅̅ are tangent
and secant segments,
respectively, of ⊙ 𝑂 drawn
from exterior point K.

̅̅̅̅̅ intersects ⊙ 𝑂 at N.
𝐾𝑀
Prove: (KL)2 = KM ⋅ KN
