10.6 Segments Lengths in Circles

Segments of the chord: 2 chords intersected inside the circle

Segments of Chords: If 2 chords intersect inside circle, then the


product of lengths of 1 chord = product of length of other chord

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.

Segments of Secants & Tangents Theorem: If a secant seg. & tangent seg.
share endpoint outside circle, then lengths of secant seg. * its external
segment = (length of tangent seg)2
