Chord, Secant and Tangent Line Segments with Circles

Use the applet to help visualize and setup proportional relationships using Chords, Secants, and Tangent type of line segments.

Write a proportion showing the relationships for each of the following situations [list=1] [*]1) Segments are intersecting [b]INSIDE[/b] the circle (chords) [*]2) Segments are intersecting [b]OUTSIDE[/b] the circle (secants) [*]3) Two points on the edge of the circle are overlapping (1 secant and 1 tangent).
