This document discusses theorems and constructions related to circles and tangents. It defines when a line is a tangent to a circle and how to construct a tangent line from a point on or outside the circle. It also covers inequalities involving angles, arcs, chords, and minor arcs within circles, stating which are larger based on the relative sizes of other parts of the circle.

4 Constructions and Inequalities for the Circle


Theorem 6.4.1
The line that is perpendicular to the radius of a circle at its endpoint on the circle is a tangent to the circle
Given: 𝑄𝑇 ⊥ 𝑂𝑇 O
Prove: 𝑄𝑇is tangent to circle 𝑂 Q

Proof:

Construction 8
Construct a tangent to a circle at a point on the circle

M.

. O
Construction 9
Construct a tangent to a circle from an external point.

M . O
Inequalities in the Circle
Theorem 6.4.2
In a circle (or congruent circles) containing two unequal central angles, the larger angle corresponds to the larger intercepted arc A

.
T
O

Theorem 6.4.3
In a circle (or congruent circles) containing two unequal arcs, the larger arc corresponds to the larger central angles.
B

Theorem 6.4.4
In a circle (or congruent circles) containing two unequal chords, the shorter chord is at the greatest distance from the center.

Theorem 6.4.5
In a circle (or congruent circles) containing two unequal chords, the chord nearer the center of the circle has the greater length.

M.

. O
Theorem 6.4.4
In a circle (or congruent circles) containing two unequal chords, the longer chord corresponds to the greater minor chord.

M.

. O

Theorem 6.4.5
In a circle (or congruent circles) containing two unequal minor arcs , the greater minor arc corresponds to the longer of the chords related to these arcs.
