OBJECTIVES:

At the end of the lesson, the students should be able to:

Define angles formed by secants and tangents of a circle.

Familiarize the ways on how to solve the angles formed by

secants and tangents.

Find measures of angles formed by lines intersecting on or

inside and outside the circle.

 ANGLES FORMED BY
SECANTS AND TANGENTS
Case 1: Vertex on the Circle
THEOREM:
If a tangent and a secant (or a chord) intersect on the circle at the point of
tangency, then the measure of the angle formed is half the measure of its
intercepted arc.

Tangent BC and Secant BA intersect at point B.

 EXAMPLE:

m∠2=½(200˚)
m∠1=½(120˚)

= 100˚
= 60˚
Case 2: Vertex inside the Circle

THEOREM:

If two secants or two chords intersect in the interior of a circle, then the measure
of each angle formed is half the sum of the measures of its intercepted arcs.

Chords AD and BC intersect

at E
EXAMPLE:
Find the angle measure:
m∠SQR

m∠SQR=½(32˚+100˚)
= 66˚
Case 3: Vertex outside the Circle

THEOREM:

If a tangent and secant, two tangents, or two secants intersect in the exterior of a
circle, then the measure of the angle formed is half the difference of the measures
of its intercepted arcs.
EXAMPLE:

m∠1= ½(202˚- 78˚) m∠2= ½(125˚- 45˚)

= ½(124˚) = ½(80˚)
= 62˚ = 40˚
 YOU’RE TURN!

Find the indicated measure or value.

1. m∠1 2. m∠ABC

m∠1= ½(54˚+ 70˚) m∠ABC = ½(200˚- 160˚)

= ½(124˚) = ½(40˚)
= 62˚ = 20˚
 3. m∠N
4. m∠RQU

m∠N = ½(90˚- 35˚) m∠RQU = ½(270˚- 90˚)

= ½(55˚) = ½(180˚)

= 27.5˚ = 90˚
5. m∠XYZ

m∠XYZ = ½(135˚)

= 67.5˚
