 Heavenly Father, we praise and glorify Your Holy name.
We thank You for all the blessings You have bestowed upon us.
Thank you for providing our needs and for giving us the chance to continue our study.
Blessed our teachers who inspire and guide us.
Blessed our parents who work and support us.
And bless our classmates and friends who care for us.
We are humbly asking for Your guidance as we begin our online class today.
Send us Your Holy Spirit, so we may understand and achieve the objectives of our lesson.
Help us to listen attentively to our teachers, so we may accept the knowledge imparted to us.
Give us energy and strength to participate in today’s online class.
Help us to be more focused, so we may complete the activities and task for today.
Fill our hearts with joy, our minds with learning, and our class with peace.
We ask all of these though Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns forever and ever.
Amen.
Angles Formed by
Tangents and
Secants
OBJECTIVES:

 Illustrate tangent and secant of a

circle; and
 Solves problem on circle.
TANGENT LINES

• A line is said to be tangent to a circle if it touches the circle at exactly one point
of intersection between a circle and the line tangent to the circle.
• In the below, point A is called a point of tangency. It is the point of intersection
between a circle and the line tangent to the circle.
SECANT

• A straight line that intersects a circle in two points is called a secant line.
• A chord is the line segment that joins two distinct points of the circle. A chord is
in a unique secant line and every secant line defines a unique chord. 
• In geometry, a secant is a line that cuts any curve in at least two different points.
• Secant means ‘to cut’ extracted from a Latin word ‘secare’. While in a circle, a
secant will touch the circle in exactly two points and a chord is the line segment
defined by these two points, that is the interval on a secant whose endpoints are
these two points.
THEOREM 120

••If two secants intersect in the interior

of a circle, then the measure of the
angle formed is equal to one-half the
sum of the measures of the intercepted
arcs.

Given: Circle O with secants and

intersecting at E
