 What’s New

Activity 3: Touch or Divide?

Do you think tangent lines and secant lines are the same? To answer this
question, consider the following illustrations of tangent lines and secant lines.

In the figures, ʘA and ʘB are intersected by tangent lines while ʘC and ʘD are
intersected by secant lines. Do you think there are similarities on tangent and
secant lines? How about their differences?

Tangent Line
A tangent to a circle is a line coplanar with the circle and intersects it in one and
only one point. The point of intersection of the line and the circle is called the
point of tangency.

Figure 4

5 CO_Q2_Mathematics 10_ Module 5

Example: In Figure 4, 𝑃𝑄⃡ intersects ⊙C at A only. Based on the definition of tangent
line, 𝑃𝑄⃡ is a tangent line and A is the point of tangency.

Secant
A secant is a line or segment or ray that intersects a circle at exactly two
points. A secant contains chord of a circle.

Figure 5

Example: In Figure 5, 𝑀𝑁⃡

Figure 5
is a secant line of ʘA. It intersects the circle at two points.

What Is It

The following is the summary of what to be discussed in this section:

[Link] of Terms
[Link] on Tangent Line
[Link] on Tangent Line
[Link] on Angles formed by Tangent Lines and Secant Lines
[Link] on Segments formed by Tangent Segments and Secant
Segments

Common Tangent
A common tangent is a line or segment or ray that is tangent to two
circles in the same plane.
a. Common internal tangents intersect the segment joining the centers of the
two circles.

Figure 6

Example: In Figure 6, 𝑐 and 𝑑 are both common internal tangents of ʘD and ʘE.
Notice that they intersect the line connecting the center of ʘD and ʘE.

6 CO_Q2_Mathematics 10_ Module 5

b. Common external tangents are lines or rays or segment that do not
intersect the segment joining the centers of the two circles.
𝑡

𝑠
Figure 7

Example: In Figure 7,𝑡 and 𝑠 are common external tangents. Note that they do
not intersect the line connecting the centers of ʘM and ʘN.

External Secant Segment

An external secant segment is the part of a secant segment that is outside of a
circle.

Figure 8

AB is a segment of secant line ℎ and it is outside the circle. In ʘD, EC̅̅̅̅

Example: In Figure 8, secant segments are illustrated outside ʘC and ʘD. In ʘC.

and FC are segments of secant line 𝑓 and secant line 𝑘 respectively

outside the circle. For these reasons, AB̅̅̅̅, EC̅̅̅̅ and FC̅̅̅̅ are external
secant segments.

Activity 4: Tangent or Secant

To check your understanding on tangent and secant lines, supply what is being
asked in the problems that follows.

or neither.

[Link] ʘC, identify which segments are external secant segment.

In item number 1,
lines in letters a and d are tangent lines since they intersect or touch a circle at
only one point

a. d.

Lines in letters b and c are secant lines since each intersects a circle at two points.

 b. c.

Line in letter e is neither a tangent line nor a secant line since it does not touch
any point on a circle.

In item number 2, the only tangent line is 𝐽𝐿⃡ while the secant lines are 𝑆𝐽⃡

⃡ and 𝐴𝑇⃡

In item number 3, letter d illustrates lines that are common internal

tangents,

letter b illustrates lines that are common external tangents,

b.

and letter a and letter e both neither illustrate common internal tangents nor
common external tangents.

a. d.

In item 4, AE̅̅̅̅ is only the external secant line. 𝐀𝐅̅̅̅̅, and 𝐉𝐄̅̅̅ are segments
outside ʘC. Thus, the external segments of a secant line are 𝐀𝐅̅̅̅̅, and 𝐉𝐄̅̅̅.

11 CO_Q2_Mathematics 10
Postulate on Tangent Line
At a given point on a circle, one and only one line can be drawn that is
tangent to the circle.

Figure 9

To illustrate, consider ⊙R in Figure 9. If C is a point on the circle, then AB̅̅̅̅ is

the only line that can be drawn through C that is tangent to ʘR.

Theorems on Tangent Line

[Link] a line is tangent to a circle, then it is perpendicular to the radius drawn to
the point of tangency.

Figure 10

In Figure 10, AB̅̅̅̅ is tangent to ʘR, at C. If we connect C to R, then CR̅̅̅̅⊥AB̅̅̅̅

2. If a line is perpendicular to the radius of a circle at its endpoint on the circle,

then the line is tangent to the circle.

12 CO_Q2_Mathematics 10
 Figure 11

ʘQ in Figure 11, DC̅̅̅̅⊥QE̅̅̅̅and QE̅̅̅̅ is a radius of circle Q. Therefore, DC̅̅̅̅ is tangent to ʘQ.

[Link] two segments from the same exterior point are tangent to a circle, then the two
segments are congruent.

Figure 12

In Figure 12, DC̅̅̅̅ and BC̅̅̅̅ are tangent to circle A at D and B, respectively, from
the common external point, C. From the theorem, BC̅̅̅̅ ≅ DC̅̅̅̅.

Theorems on Angles Formed by Tangents and Secants

[Link] two tangents intersect in the exterior of a circle, then the measure of the angle
formed is one-half the difference of the measures of the intercepted arcs.

Figure 13
In Figure 13, tangentBA ⃡ and tangent 𝐴𝐸⃡ intersect outside ʘC at

BE and EDB are the two intercepted arcs of ∠BAE. The theorem states that:

13 CO_Q2_Mathematics 10_ Module 5

[Link] two secants intersect in the exterior of a circle, then the measure of the angle
formed is one-half the positive difference of the measures of the intercepted arcs.

In Figure 14, 𝑁𝑋⃡ and 𝑀𝑌⃡

are two secants intersecting outside the circle at

point P. XY and MN are the two intercepted arcs of ∠𝑋𝑃𝑌. The theorem states that:
1
𝑚 ∠𝑋𝑃𝑌= 2(𝑚𝑋𝑌 − 𝑚𝑀𝑁)
[Link] a secant and a tangent intersect in the exterior of a circle, then the measure
of the angle formed is one-half the difference of the measures of the
intercepted arcs.

4. If two secants intersect in the interior of a circle, then the measure of an angle
formed is one-half the sum of the measures of the arcs intercepted by the
angle and its vertical angle.

 Figure 16

In Figure 16,𝑊𝑆⃡ and 𝑅𝑋⃡ are two secants intersecting inside the circle. WR
and

XS are the two intercepted arcs of ∠1 while XW and RS are the two intercepted arcs
of ∠2. The theorem states that: 1
𝑚 ∠1= 2(𝑚 WR + 𝑚 XS)
 1
𝑚 ∠2= 2(𝑚 XW + 𝑚 RS)

5. If a secant and a tangent intersect at the point of tangency, then the measure
of each angle formed is one-half the measure of its intercepted arc.

In Figure 17, ZP ⃡ is tangent at the circle at Y. Secant QY

⃡ and tangent ZP
intersectat Y. QY is the intercepted arc of ∠ZYQ while YXQ is the intercepted arc

∠QYP. The theorem states that:

of

m ∠QYP = 2m YXQ

Theorems on Secant Segments, Tangents Segments, and External

Segments 1. If two secant segments are drawn to a circle from an exterior point,
then the product of the lengths of one secant segment and its external secant
segment is equal to the product of the lengths of the other secant segment and
its external secant segment.

Figure 18

15 CO_Q2_Mathematics 10_ Module 5

 In ʘA of Figure 18, BC̅̅̅̅ and DC̅̅̅̅ are secant
segments from external point C. EC̅̅̅̅ is
the external secant segment of BC̅̅̅̅ and FC̅̅̅̅ is
the external secant segment ofDC̅̅̅̅.

Figure 19

In ʘA of Figure 19, EC̅̅̅̅ and DC̅̅̅̅ are tangent segment and secant segment
respectively from external point C. GC̅̅̅̅ is the external secant segment of DC̅̅̅̅. The

(EC)2= (DC̅̅̅̅)•(GC̅̅̅̅)
theorem states that:

[Link] two secant lines intersect inside the circle, the product of the lengths of
segments formed inside the circle are equal.

In Figure 20, secant lines𝐺𝐴⃡ and 𝐶𝑅⃡ intersect inside the circle. 𝐺𝐸̅̅̅̅, 𝐸𝐴̅̅̅̅, 𝑅𝐸̅̅̅̅ and 𝐸𝐶

are the segments formed inside the circle. Thus,

Activity 5: Match Me
Match illustrations in column A with the relationship about its angles formed,
tangent segment, and secant segments in column B. An illustration in column A can
be matched to more than one relationship in column B. Or more than one illustration
in column A can be match to one relationship in column B. In addition, any line
segment that looks like a tangent line is tangent, any line segment that looks like
secant line is secant and a point that looks like a point of tangency is really the point
of tangency.

illustrated Figure 23. The shaded region in the center circle is a minor sector since
it

figure is a major sector since it is bounded by two radii and a major arc.
