INSCRIBED ANGLES, TANGENTS, AND SECANTS

In this unit, you will learn about inscribed angles, tangents, and secants.  You will explore the relationship between inscribed angles and their intercepted arcs.  You will investigate polygons inscribed in circles and polygons circumscribed about circles.  You will learn about a point of tangency and examine lines that are tangent to circles and how they relate to radii.  You will learn about secants and their connection with arcs, arc measure, and tangents.
