101.1 CP Lines and Segments that Intersect a Circle.notebook April 17, 2017 Chapter 10 Circles Part 1 - Lines and Segments that Intersect a Circle
In this lesson we will: Name and describe the lines and segments that intersect a circle.
A chord is a segment whose endpoints are on the circle. > BA is a chord in circle O.
A diameter is a chord that intersects the center of the circle. > BA is a diameter in circle P.
A radius is a segment whose endpoints are the center of the circle and a point on the circle. > PA is a radius in circle P.
A radius of a circle is half the length of the circle's diameter.

A tangent is a line or segment that intersects a circle at one point. The point of tangency is the point where the line or segment intersects the circle > line t is a tangent line to circle O and P is the point of tangency A common tangent is a line that is tangent to two circles.
A secant is a line that intersects a circle at two points. The segment part of a secant contained inside the circle is a chord. > line AB is a secant in circle O > segment AB is a chord in circle O
