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

is always right angle.
Note: Two tangents from the same exterior point are congruent.
