Secant Segment: contains chord and has exactly one endpoint outside circle
External Segment: part of secant that is outside circle
secant segment
external segment
tangent segment
Segments of Secants Theorem: If 2 secant segments share same endpoint outside circle,
then the product of the lengths of 1 secant segment and its external segment =
product of lengths of other secant segment and its external segment.
