Intersecting Secant and Tangent at an Exterior Point in a Circle: Angle.

A secant and a tangent intersecting at an exterior point of the circle, form an angle that is half the difference of the absolute value of the

intersected arcs, being these the in between the segments arcs. Drag any point in the figure of the interactive applet to verify the

relationship. Be careful to keep the arcs at opposite sides of the circle.
