Q

Adjacent arcs

A

Arcs that have exactly one point in common

24
Arc addition postulate
Measure of the arc formed by two adjacent arcs is the sum of the measures of these row arcs
25
In the same circle or in congruent circles two minor arcs are congruent if...
Their central angles are congruent
26
Congruent arcs
Arcs in the same or congruent circles that have equal measures
27
In the same or congruent circles (2 points)
Congruent arcs have congruent chords | Congruent chords have congruent arcs
28
A diameter that is perpendicular to a chord...
Bisects the chord and its arc
29
Inscribed angle
Angle whose vertex is on a circle and whose sides contain chords of the circle
30
Measure of an inscribed angle is equal to...
Half the measure of its intercepted arc
31
If two inscribed angle intercept the same arc...
Then the angles are congruent
32
An angle inscribed in a semicircle is...
A right angle
33
If a quadrilateral is inscribed in a circle...
Then its opposite angles are supplementary
34
Measure of an angle formed by a chord and a tangent is equal to...
Half the measure of the intercepted arcs
35
The measure of an angle formed by two chords that intersect inside a circle is
Equal to half the sum of the measures of the intercepted arcs
36
The measure of an angle formed by two secants, two tangents or a secant and a tangent drawn from a point outside a circle is
Equal to half of the difference of the measures of the intercepted arcs
37
When two chords intersect inside a circle the product of the segments of one chord equals
The product of the segments of the other chord
38
When two secant segments are drawn to a circle from an external point,
The product of one secant segment and its external segment equals the product of the other secant segment and its external segment
39
When a secant segment and a tangent segment are drawn to a circle from an external point
The product of the secant segment and its external segment is equal to the square of the tangent segment
40
In same or congruent circles (chords)
Chords equally distant from centre are congruent | Congruent chords are equally distant from centre
