When a secant and a tangent of a circle intersect, a secant-tangent angle is formed. his angle intercepts an arc on the circle. he measure of the arc is related to the measure of the secant-tangent angle. here are two ways that secant-tangent angles are formed, as shown below. ase 1 ase 2 Vertex Outside the ircle Vertex On the ircle ecant-tangent angle intercepts and. ecant-tangent angle intercepts. otice that the vertex of a secant-tangent angle cannot lie inside the circle. his is because the tangent always lies outside the circle, except at the single point of contact. he formulas for the measures of these angles are shown in heorems 14 10 and 14 11. heorem 14 10 14 11 Words If a secant-tangent angle has its vertex outside the circle, then its degree measure is one-half the difference of the degree measures of the intercepted arcs. If a secant-tangent angle has its vertex on the circle, then its degree measure is one-half the degree measure of the intercepted arc. odels and ymbols m 1 2 (m m ) m 1 2 (m ) 606 hapter 14 ircle elationships

14 reparing for tandardized ests ight riangle and rigonometry roblems any geometry problems on standardized tests involve right triangles and the ythagorean heorem. he also includes trigonometry problems. emorize these ratios. sin hy o pposite potenuse, cos hy a djacent potenuse, tan o a pposite djacent tandardized tests often use the reek letter (theta) for the measure of an angle. he 3-4-5 right triangle and its multiples, like 6-8-10 and 9-12-15, occur frequently on standardized tests. Other ythagorean triples, like 5-12-13 and 7-24-25, also occur often. emorize them. tate est xample 32-foot telephone pole is braced with a cable that runs from the top of the pole to a point 7 feet from the base.

You can assume that the pole makes a right angle with the ground. In this right triangle, you know the lengths of the two sides. You need to find the length of the hypotenuse. Use the ythagorean heorem. c 2 a 2 + b 2 c 2 32 2 + 7 2 a = 32 and b = 7 c 2 1024 + 49 32 2 = 1024 and 7 2 = 49 c 2 1073 c 1073 Use a calculator. c 32.8 o the nearest tenth, the hypotenuse is 32.8 feet. he answer is. 7 ft olution adjacent o find cos, you need to know the length of the adjacent side. otice that the hypotenuse is 5 and one side is 3, so this is a 3-4-5 right triangle. he adjacent side is 4 units.
