7. Special Segments in a Circle
Continue to next subchapter

Exercise 31 Page 773

Notice that the segments are chords and use the Segments of Chords Theorem.

Example answer: The products of the lengths of the chord segments are equal.

Practice makes perfect

Let's consider a circle and two secants that intersect inside the circle.

As we can see, in this case, the segments formed by the two secants are in fact chords.

By the Segments of Chords Theorem the products of the lengths of the chord segments are equal. AE * EB = CE * ED
