Secant- Al line that intersects a circle in two points.

Secants create chords.

Interior Angle Theorem:
Definition: Angles that are formed by two intersecting chords.


The measure of the angle formed by two intersecting chords is equal to 1/2 the sum of the measure of the intercepted arcs.

Exterior Angles
An Angle formed by two secants and two tangents or a secant and a tangent drawn from a point outside the circle.

the measure of the angle formed is one 1/2 the distance of the intercepted arcs.
