Congruent Arcs and Circles
Congruent circles have congruent radii and diameters. Congruent central
angles form congruent arcs in congruent circles.
Tangent and Secant Lines in Circles
A tangentis a ray or line segment that intercepts a circle at exactly one
point. The angle formed by a radius and a tangent where it meets a circle
is always right angle.
Note: Two tangents from the same exterior point are congruent.
A secantis a ray or line segment that intercepts a circle at two points.
