    The document discusses geometry theorems and definitions related to circles. It states that equal length chords of a circle mark out equal arc lengths (Theorem 4.3.14). It defines a tangent to a circle as a line from an external point that just touches the circle (Definition 4.3.15). It then states that a line connecting the center of a circle to the point of tangency between the circle and a tangent line forms a right angle (Theorem 4.3.16). Finally, it notes that using right angles from tangents and drawing radii can provide useful information for solving circle problems (Remark 4.3.17).

    Geometry

    Theorem 4.3.14
    Equal chords mark out equal arcs
    This basically means that if you have 2 chords of the same length, the sector of the
    circle they mark out will be equal

    Definition 4.3.15 (Tangent). A tangent is any line from a point external to the circle that
    just touches the circle.

    Theorem 4.3.16 (Right Angle Tangency Point)


    If you connect the center of a circle to the point where the circle and a line are tangent,
    they will form a right angle.

    Remark 4.3.17
    This property is very useful in circle problems as it allows us to work with right angles.
    In addition, another helpful technique is drawing useful radii to various points in your
    diagram as that opens up new information to work with.
