Tangent Ang Secant

This document defines and illustrates tangent and secant lines of a circle. It provides theorems about tangent lines, including that they are perpendicular to the radius drawn at the point of tangency. Secant lines intersect a circle at two points. Theorems are given about the angles formed between tangent and secant lines, including that the measure of the angle is one-half the difference or sum of the intercepted arcs. Worked problems apply these concepts to determine properties of lines in relation to circles.
