Fun With Circles: Segment Relationships & Chord Theorems Explained!

The geometry of circles and segment relationships, focusing on theorems involving chords, secants, and tangents, with practical applications through worked examples.

  • Intersecting chord theorem demonstrates how products of chord lengths remain equal when chords intersect
  • Secant segment theorem explains relationships between intersecting secants outside circles
  • Tangent-secant segment theorem relates tangent lengths to secant segments
  • Explores relationships between congruent arcs, chords, and central angles
  • Includes perpendicular relationships between radii/diameters and chords
  • Features multiple worked examples with step-by-step solutions

Page 2: Advanced Segment Relationships and Congruence

This page explores the tangent-secant relationship and introduces concepts of congruence in circles.

Definition: The tangent-secant segment theorem states that the square of a tangent's length equals the product of the entire secant and its external segment.

Example: A detailed example shows how to find x when given a tangent length of 10 and secant segments of 7 and y.

Highlight: The page establishes important relationships between:

  • Congruent central angles and congruent chords
  • Congruent chords and congruent arcs
  • Congruent arcs and central angles

Page 3: Advanced Applications and Perpendicular Relationships

This page focuses on practical applications and introduces perpendicular relationships in circles.

Definition: When a radius or diameter is perpendicular to a chord, it bisects both the chord and its corresponding arc.

Example: Multiple worked examples demonstrate:

  • Finding arc measures using algebraic expressions
  • Calculating chord lengths using the Pythagorean theorem
  • Determining segment lengths in perpendicular relationships

Highlight: The Pythagorean theorem is applied extensively in solving circle-related problems, particularly when dealing with right angles formed by perpendicular lines.

Quote: "In a circle, if a radius or diameter is perpendicular to a chord, then it bisects the chord and its arc."

Page 1: Fundamental Circle Relationships and Intersecting Chord Theorem

This page introduces essential circle vocabulary and the intersecting chord theorem. The content begins with a comprehensive warm-up exercise reviewing basic circle terminology.

Vocabulary: Key terms include circumference, arc, chord, sector, secant, radius, diameter, and center.

Definition: The intersecting chord theorem states that when two chords intersect in a circle, the products of their segments are equal.

Example: Two worked examples demonstrate the theorem:

  1. Finding x where chords intersect with lengths 14, 7, 10
  2. Calculating x with chord segments of 3, 8, 4, and 6

Highlight: The secant segment theorem is introduced, explaining that when secants intersect outside a circle, the product of one secant's entire length and its external segment equals the product of the other secant's corresponding measurements.

The app is very easy to use and well designed. I have found everything I was looking for so far and have been able to learn a lot from the presentations! I will definitely use the app for a class assignment! And of course it also helps a lot as an inspiration.

This app is really great. There are so many study notes and help [...]. My problem subject is French, for example, and the app has so many options for help. Thanks to this app, I have improved my French. I would recommend it to anyone.

Wow, I am really amazed. I just tried the app because I've seen it advertised many times and was absolutely stunned. This app is THE HELP you want for school and above all, it offers so many things, such as workouts and fact sheets, which have been VERY helpful to me personally.

I think it’s very much worth it and you’ll end up using it a lot once you get the hang of it and even after looking at others notes you can still ask your Artificial intelligence buddy the question and ask to simplify it if you still don’t get it!!! In the end I think it’s worth it 😊👍 ⚠️Also DID I MENTION ITS FREEE YOU DON’T HAVE TO PAY FOR ANYTHING AND STILL GET YOUR GRADES IN PERFECTLY❗️❗️⚠️

Knowunity is the BEST app I’ve used in a minute. This is not an ai review or anything this is genuinely coming from a 7th grade student (I know 2011 im young) but dude this app is a 10/10 i have maintained a 3.8 gpa and have plenty of time for gaming. I love it and my mom is just happy I got good grades

Not only did it help me find the answer but it also showed me alternative ways to solve it. I was horrible in math and science but now I have an a in both subjects. Thanks for the help🤍🤍

The app's just great! All I have to do is enter the topic in the search bar and I get the response real fast. I don't have to watch 10 YouTube videos to understand something, so I'm saving my time. Highly recommended!

In school I was really bad at maths but thanks to the app, I am doing better now. I am so grateful that you made the app.

I found this app a couple years ago and it has only gotten better since then. I really love it because it can help with written questions and photo questions. Also, it can find study guides that other people have made as well as flashcard sets and practice tests. The free version is also amazing for students who might not be able to afford it. Would 100% recommend

Best app if you're in Highschool or Junior high. I have been using this app for 2 school years and it's the best, it's good if you don't have anyone to help you with school work.😋🩷🎀

THE QUIZES AND FLASHCARDS ARE SO USEFUL AND I LOVE THE SCHOOLGPT. IT ALSO IS LITREALLY LIKE CHATGPT BUT SMARTER!! HELPED ME WITH MY MASCARA PROBLEMS TOO!! AS WELL AS MY REAL SUBJECTS ! DUHHH 😍😁😲🤑💗✨🎀😮

This app is phenomenal down to the correct info and the various topics you can study! I greatly recommend it for people who struggle with procrastination and those who need homework help. It has been perfectly accurate for world 1 history as far as I’ve seen! Geometry too!
