Tangent Line?
Intersects a circle in one point called point of tangency
Secant line?
Lines that intersect a circle in two points
Chord?
Segment with endpooint on the circle
Diameter?
Chord through the center of the circle.
Theorem 12.1?
If a line is tangent to a circle, then it is perpendicular to the radius drawn to the point of tangency
Theorem 12.2?
If a line in the plane of a circle is perpendicular to a radius at its endpoint on the circle, then the line is tangent to the circle
Theorem 12.3?
The two segmets tangent to a circle from a point outside the circle are congruent
Common tangent?
A line that is tangent to two coplanar circle
External tangent?
Common tangents that do ot intersect the segment joining the centers of the two circles
Internal tangent?
Common tangents that intersect the segment joining the centers of the two circles
Tangent circles?
coplanar circles that intersect in one point
Externally tangent circles?
No common interior points
Internally tangent circles?
With smaller circle contained in larger circle
lCentral ange of a circle?
An angle whose vertex is the center of the circle
Arc of a circle?
Two endpoints and a continuous part of a circle between them
Minor arc?
An arc whose measure is less than 180
Major arc?
An arc whose measure is greater than 1880
Semi-circle?
An arc whose endpoints are the diameter of the circle
Congruent arcs?
Arcs with equal angle measures that lie in the same circle of congruent circles
Theorem 12.4?
Within a circle of in congruent circles:
Congrent central angles have congruent chords
Congruent chords have congruent arcs
Congruent arcs have congruent entral angles
Inscribed angle?
An angle with vertex on a circle and the sides contain chords of the circle
Intercepted arc?
The arc between the sides of a n inscrbied angle
Tangent-chord angle?
An angle with its vertex and the other side containing a chord
Theorem 12.5?
Within a circle of in congruent circles chord equidistant from the center are congruent. Congruent chords are equidistant from the center
