Secant Line:
intersects the
circle at
exactly TWO
points
Tangent Line:
a LINE that intersects the circle
exactly ONE time
Forms a 90°angle
with one radius
Point of Tangency:
The point where the
tangent intersects
the circle

THINGS TO KNOW AND
REMEMBER ALWAYS
A circle has 360 degrees
A semicircle has 180 degrees
Vertical Angles are CONGRUENT
Linear Pairs are SUPPLEMENTARY
Formula
measure Arc = measure Central Angle
Measure of Arcs & Angles
In a circle, the measure of the central angle is
always equal to the measure of its intercepted arc.
x=n
m ∠ ABC = m AC n°
C
• If ∠ ABC is 80°, what A
is the measure of arc x°
AC?
B°
m AC = 80°
Measure of Arcs & Angles
EXAMPLE: In the diagram below, if the m ∠ xyz is 68°, find
the measure of a.) minor arc and b.) major arc.
SOLUTION:
a. measure of minor arc
m ∠xyz = m xz (since ∠xyz is a central angle)
m xz = 68°
x
b. measure of major arc
major arc = 360° – m xz (minor arc)
68°
=360° – 68°
y
68°
m xz (major arc) = 292°
292° z
