7. Theorem 1.
If two chords of a circle intersect,
then the product of the measures
of the segments of one chord is
equal to the product of the
measures of the segments of the
other chord.

Product Theorem
Find the value of x and the length of
each chord.
EJ JF = GJ JH
10(7) = 14(x)
70 = 14x
5 = x
EF = 10 + 7 = 17
GH = 14 + 5 = 19

11. Theorem 2.
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. .
12. A secant segment is a segment of a secant
with at least one endpoint on the circle.
An external secant segment is a secant
segment that lies in the exterior of the circle
with one endpoint on the circle.
13.
14. Find the value of x and the length of each secant
segment.
Example 1: Applying the Secant-Secant
Product Theorem
16(7) = (8 + x)8
112 = 64 + 8x
48 = 8x
6 = x
ED = 7 + 9 = 16
EG = 8 + 6 = 14
15. Find the value of z and the length
of each secant segment.
39(9) = (13 + z)13
351 = 169 + 13z
182 = 13z
14 = z
LG = 30 + 9 = 39
JG = 14 + 13 = 27
Example 2: Applying the Secant-Secant
Product Theorem
16. Theorem 3.
If two segments from the same
exterior point are tangent to a
circle, then the two segments
are congruent.
17. A tangent segment is a segment of a
tangent with one endpoint on the
circle. AB and AC are tangent
segments.
If the two tangent
segments are
drawn to a circle
from external
point, then the two
tangent segments
are congruent.
18. BC and DC are tangent
to A. Find BC.
BC = DC
5y – 1 = 3y + 5
5y – 3y = 5 + 1
2y = 6
2 2
y = 3
BC = 5y – 1
BC = 5(3) – 1
BC = 15 – 1
BC = 14
19. Theorem 4.
If a tangent segment and a secant segment
are drawn to a circle from an exterior point,
then the square of the length of the
tangent segment is equal to the product of
the lengths of the secant segment and its
external secant segment.
20.
21. Example 4: Applying the Secant-Tangent
Product Theorem
Find the value of x.
The value of x must be 10 since it represents a
length.
ML JL = KL2
20(5) = x2
100 = x2
±10 = x
22. Find the value of y.
DE DF = DG2
7(7 + y) = 102
49 + 7y = 100
7y = 51
