In the same circle or congruent circles (equal radii), two minor arcs are congruent if and only if their corresponding chords are congruent.
If a diameter (or part of a diameter) of a circle is perpendicular to a chord, then it bisects the chord and its arc.

Chords which are equidistant from the center are congruent.
Congruent chords are equidistant from the center.
A radius can be added to create a right triangle to aid in solving a problem.
Example In P, JK = 10 and mJLK = 134o.
Find each measure.
(a) mJL
(b) PQ
Hint: Draw a radius to form a right triangle.

Tangent Line that touches exactly one point on the circle (does not go inside the circle)
Radius is perpendicular to the tangent at the point of tangency.
Use the Converse of Pythagorean Theorem to prove LM is or is not tangent to K.
Example
Find x. Assume that segments that appear to be tangent are tangent. Round to the nearest tenth if necessary.

If two segments from the same exterior point are tangent to a circle, then they are congruent.
Given AB and CB are tangent to D.
Example
AC and BC are tangent to Z. Show how to find the value of x.
Example
Triangle PQR circumscribes the circle. Find x, then find the perimeter.
