postulates and theorems relating to circles (chp. 10)

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Hypothesis
Conclusion
Two arcs are congruent if and only if   their corresponding central angles are congruent  
🗑
The measure of an arc formed by two adjacent arcs is   the sum of the measures of the two arcs  
🗑
In a circle or in congruent circles, two minor arcs are congruent if and only if   their corresponding chords are congruent  
🗑
In a circle, if the diameter (or radius) is perpendicular to a chord   then it besects the chord and its arc  
🗑
In a circle or in congruent cirlces, two chords are congruent if and only if   they are quidistant from the center  
🗑
If an angle is inscribed in a circle,   then the measure of the angle equals one-half the measure of its intercepted arc ( or the measure of the intercepted arc is twice the measure of the inscribed angle)  
🗑
If two inscribed angles of a circle (or congruent circles) intercept congruent arcs (or the same arc),   then the angles are congruent  
🗑
If an inscribed angle intercepts a semicircle,   the angle is a right angle  
🗑
If a quadrilateral is inscribed in a circle,   then its opposite angles are supplementary  
🗑
If a line is tangent to a circle,   then it is perpendicular to the radius drawn to the point of tangency  
🗑
If a line is perpendicular to a radius of a circle at its endpoint on the circle   then the line is tangent to the circle  
🗑
If two segments from the same exterior point are tangent to a circle   then they are congruent  
🗑
If two secants intersect in the interior of a circle   then the measure of an angle formed is one-half the sum of the measure of the arcs intercepted by the angle and its vertical angle  
🗑
If a secant and a tangent intersect at the point of tangency   then the measure of each angle formed is one-half the measure of its intercepted arc  
🗑
If two secants, a secant and a tangent, or two tangents intersect in the exterior of a circle,   then the measure of the angle formed is one-half the positive difference of the measures of the intercepted arcs  
🗑
If two chords intersect in a circle,   then the products of the measures of the segments of the chords are equal  
🗑
If two secent segments are drawn to a circle from an exterior point,   then the product of the measures of one secant segment and its external secant segment is equal to the product of the measures of the other secant segment and its external secant segment  
🗑
If a tangent segment and a secant are drawn to a circle from an exterior point,   then the square of the measure of a tangent segment is equal to the product of the measures of the secant segment and its external secant segment  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
