Inscribed Angle Theorem: Tangent Case
Read this topicExplanations 4
- There are some useful formulas to calculate angles in circles, formed by radii, chords, secants, and tangents. Central Angle ======== A central angle is formed by two intersecti…

- Intuitive limiting argument Sometimes we have a sort of "degenerate/tangent" inscribed angle, like ∠ABX\angle{ABX}∠ABX below. It's a "degenerate tangent case" in the sense that …

- Use the "tangent case formula" to derive the "normal case formula". (This is not circular, because it's possible to prove the tangent case formula without using the normal case …

- A circle ω\omegaω has center OOO and radius rrr. A chord BCBCBC of ω\omegaω also has length rrr, and the tangents to ω\omegaω at BBB and CCC meet at AAA. Ray AOAOAO meets ω\omeg…
- Let S1S_1S1 and S2S_2S2 be two circles intersecting at points AAA and BBB. Let CCC and DDD be points on S1S_1S1 and S2S_2S2 respectively such that line CDCDCD is tangent to …
