CHORD – CHORD THEOREM

Procedure:
1. Draw a circle using your compass.

2. Draw two intersecting chords in the circle. Name the chords as AB and CD.
Label the intersection as point O.
3. Measure the length of AO and OB in centimeters. Record your data.
AO = _________________
OB = _________________
4. Measure the length of OC and OD in centimeters. Record your data.
OC = _________________
OD = _________________
5. Get the product of the following:
𝐴𝑂 × 𝑂𝐵 = _____________________________ 𝑂𝐶 × 𝑂𝐷 = _____________________________
6. Compare the result.
7. Write your generalization below.

8. Complete the sentence below.
Chord-chord Theorem states that:

If two chords of a circle intersect inside the circle, then the ______________ of
the measures of the segments of one chord is __________ to the ______________
of the measures of the other chord.
 TANGENT - SEGMENT THEOREM

1. Draw a circle using your compass.

2. Draw an external point, name it as point A.
3. From the external point, draw a tangent segment. Name the point of tangency as
point B.
4. From the external point, draw a secant segment. Name the points of intersection
as C and D.
5. Measure the tangent segment using your ruler in centimeters. Record your data.
AB = ______________
6. Measure the entire secant segment in centimeters. Record your data.
AD = ______________
7. Measure the exterior part of the secant segment in centimeters. Record your
data.
AC = ______________
8. Square the measure of your tangent segment.
𝐴𝐵 2 = ______________
9. Get the product of the entire secant segment and its external part.
AD * AC = ___________________

10. Compare the results.

11. Write a formula based on the result you obtained.

12. Complete the statement below.

If a tangent and a secant segment are drawn from an external point to a circle,
then the _______ of the measure of the tangent segment is ____ to the ________
of the measures of the entire secant segment and its external part.
 SECANT-SECANT THEOREM

1. Draw a circle using your compass.

2. Draw an external point, name it as point A.
3. From the external point, draw a secant segment. Name the points of intersection
of the circle and the secant segment as as C and D.
4. From the external point, draw another secant segment. Name the points of
intersection of the circle and the secant segment as E and F.
5. Measure the entire secant segments.
AD = ________________
AF = ________________
6. Measure the external part of secant segments.
AC = ________________
AE = ________________
7. Get the product of the entire secant segment and its external part.
AD * AC = ____________________
AF * AE = ____________________
8. Compare the results.
9. Write a formula based on the result you obtained.

10. Complete the statement below.

If two secant segments are drawn from an external point to a circle, then the
_______ of the measures of one secant segment and its external part is ________
to the ___________ of the measures of the other secant segment and its
external part.
