What I've Learned from Ch. 10.

1.So far, I have learned all about circles. I have learned how to find the angles,arcs,and chords of them. Also, I now know how to find all the angles in an inscribed and circumscribed circle. I just recently learned how to find tangents and secants. They are a little more challenging to do if you ask me.

2. Meteorologists, archtects, and engineers are some examples of people who use angles of light on a day to day bases to determine things.

3.  I am having a little trouble with the secants and tangent angles in 10-6. How do you find the measure of a arc or angle using secants?

Have a nice day!:)

  1. MAL! So.. I'm going to [try] to answer your question. [HERE WE GO.....]

    Alright, so to find the measure of an angle using secents, it depends on if you're looking for a secent-secent angle or if you have a secent-tangent angle. If you have a secent-secent angle, all you have to do is half the sum of the measure of the arcs intercepted by the angle & its vertical angle.

    And if you have a secent-tangent angle, you just have to half the measure of its intercepted arc.

    Hope this helped... probably not...but maybe! :)
