Tangents
• Use properties of tangents.
• tangent
• Solve problems involving
circumscribed polygons.
• point of tangency
Standard 7.0 Students prove and use theorems
involving the properties of parallel lines cut by a
transversal, the properties of quadrilaterals, and the
properties of circles. (Key)
Standard 21.0 Students prove and solve problems
regarding relationships among chords, secants,
tangents, inscribed angles, and inscribed and
circumscribed polygons of circles. (Key)
Reminder

Tangent—a line that intersects the
circle in only one point
Secant
Radius
Chord
Tangent Theorem
A
line is tangent to a circle  it is  to
a radius at its endpoint on the circle
Examples:
Find Lengths
Because y is the length of the diameter, ignore the
negative result. Thus, y is twice QR or y = 2(12) = 24.

Identify Tangents
Because the converse of the
Pythagorean Theorem did not
prove true in this case, ΔABC is
not a right triangle.
Identify Tangents
First determine whether ΔEWD
is a right triangle by using the
converse of the Pythagorean
Theorem.
Because the converse of the Pythagorean Theorem is
true, ΔEWD is a right triangle and EWD is a right angle.
