10-6 Secants, Tangents, and

Angle Measures

You found measures of segments formed by

tangents to a circle.

• Find measures of angles formed by lines

intersecting on or inside a circle.
• Find measures of angles formed by lines
intersecting outside the circle.
 One line, One circle, Same plane….

The line intersects the circle in two points.

It is a secant line.
