The measure of an angle formed by two secants intersecting outside the circle equals?

∙ 13y ago
The measure of the angle formed by two secants intersecting outside the circle is one-half the difference of the intercepted arcs.
Example:
Major intercepted arc is 200o and the minor intercepted arc is 120o.
1/2 (200-120) = 40o ...
The measurement of the angle formed by the two secants is 40o.
I HOPE THIS CAN HELP YOU :))

Measuring to the center of a circle?
The easiest way to find the radius (measurement from the outside to the center of a circle) is to measure the diameter and divide by 2.
What is the outside of a circle known as?
The outside of a circle is its circumference
How do you draw a 331 degree angle?
Since a full circle is 360°, a 331° angle is the outside measure of a 29° angle.
The measure from the center of a circle to its edge?
The measure from the center of a circle to its edge is the radius.
What is a length around the outside of a circle?
It is the circle's circumference
The measure of an angle formed by two secants intersecting inside the circle equals?
½ the sum of the intercepted arcs.
What is the measure of an angle formed by two secants intersecting outside the circle equals?
It is half the difference of the intercepted arcs.Suppose you have a circle with centre O and the two secants AB and CD, when extended meet at X which lies outside the circle.Then the two arcs subtended by the secants are AC and BD. These give the two angles as AOC and BOD and then the required angle is 0.5*(angle AOC - angle BOD).
What are secants?
Secants are lines that have a chord within them, and a chord is a segment that has endpoints on the circle itself.
What quadrant of the unit circle has negative secants?
Quadrants 2 and 3.
A circle with no segment intersecting it?
no
What is the measure of the angle formed by 2 chords intersecting within a circle if the opposite arcs they intercept are 90 and 130?
15pi. after you add.
What is an arc part of?
Arcs are part of a circumference of a circle cut into pieces by chords, tangents, secants, etc.
What happens to a chord when it leaves a circle?
It becomes a line intersecting the circle.
What is a secant. a tangent?
Secants are chords that go through a circle ONCE! Tangents are rays or segments with one point touching the border of a circle and nothing else.
What are the different types of angles in a circle?
There are many angles inside a circle. You have inscribed angles, right angles, and central angles. These angles are formed from using chords, secants, and tangents.
What is a line intersecting a circle in two points?
it is called a secant
Measuring to the center of a circle?
The easiest way to find the radius (measurement from the outside to the center of a circle) is to measure the diameter and divide by 2.
