THEOREMS ON ANGLES FORMED BY TANGENT AND SECANTS Name: ______________________________

1. If two secants intersect in the exterior of a Grade 10 - ___________________________

circle, then the measure of the angle formed is F G
one-half the positive difference of the H
ACTIVITY: ANGLES FORMED
J Find the value of x
measures of the intercepted arcs.

2. If a secant and a tangent intersect in the
exterior of a circle, then the measure of the angle F J
formed is one-half the positive difference of the H
measures of the intercepted arcs.

circle, then the measure of the angle formed is F
one-half the positive difference of the measures of

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

5. If a secant and a tangent intersect at the point
