 I. Objectives

At the end of a 60-minute discussion, at least 75% of the students should be able
to achieve the following with at least 75% level of proficiency:

a) differentiate chord, secant line, and tangent line from each other,

b) determine unknown lengths given a pair of intersecting chords, secants,

and secant-tangent in a circle; and

c) solve real- life problems using properties of special segments in a circle.

B. Review
C. Presentation of the Lesson
I will show a figure and ask
different student to name a chord,
secant line and a tangent line from
the given figure.

Student1: chord CB

From this figure, name a chord Student2: chord FB

Another chord, please. Student3: secant line CD

Now, can anyone give me a secant

Student4: tangent line EC
line?

And lastly, name a tangent line.

D. Development of the Lesson

A chord is a segment that joints on

a circle. When a chord passes
through a circle’s center, it is a
diameter. A secant is a line that
intersects a circle at exactly two
points. And, tangent is a line that
touches a circle at exactly one
point.

In today’s discussion we have 3-

subtopic, and I am going to discuss
the first one.

A. Intersecting chord Theorem

I will call one student to show

to the class a two intersecting
chords in a circle by putting
lines to the figure.

If two chords of a circle

intersect, then the product of
the measures of the segments of
one chord is equal to the
product of the measures of the
segments of the other chord.

F. Generalization

Intersecting Chord Theorem

aP x bP = cP x dP

Intersecting Secant Theorem

aP x bP = (cP)²

IV. Evaluation

1. AB and CD are secants of a circle (center O) that intersect at a point P outside the
circle. Calculate the value of y.
 2. AB and CD are secants of a circle (center O) that intersect at a point P outside the
circle. Calculate the value of x correct to 2 decimal places.

3. AB and CD are chords of a circle (center O) that intersect at a point P

inside the circle. Calculate the value of z correct to 2 decimal places.

Answer:

1) y = 14
 By the Intersecting Secants Theorem
AP × BP = CP × DP
⇒ (y + 4) × y = 21 × 12
⇒ y(y + 4) = 252
⇒ y  + 4y − 252 = 0
2

Factor this quadratic expression:

⇒ (y − 14)(y + 18) = 0
⇒ x = 14 or -18
But y cannot be negative
⇒ y = 14
2) x = 7.86
 By the Intersecting Secants Theorem
AP × BP = CP × DP
⇒ 13 × 8 = (x + 7) × 7
⇒ 104 = 7(x + 7)
 ⇒ x + 7 = 104/7 = 14.857...
⇒ x = 14.857... − 7 = 7.857... = 7.86 correct to 2 decimal places.
3) z = 6.43
 By the Intersecting Chords Theorem
AP × PB = CP × PD
⇒ 5 × 9 = 7 × z
⇒ 45 = 7z
⇒ z = 45/7 = 6.43 correct to 2 decimal places.
