    This chapter discusses geometrical figures and properties related to circles. It covers topics such as similar figures, polygons, angle properties of circles, circles and chords, intersecting chords and secants, tangents, and a table of angle measurement principles related to circles. Some key points include: all corresponding angles and sides of similar figures are in the same ratio; the angle sum of any polygon is 180(n-2) where n is the number of sides; the angle at the center of a circle is twice the angle at the circumference subtended by the same arc; chords of equal length subtend equal angles; perpendicular bisectors of every chord intersect at the circle's center; and the angle between a tangent

    6.3B Table of Angle-Measurement Principles

    Note: To find the angle formed by a secant and a chord meeting on the circle, first find the measure of the inscribed
    angle adjacent to it and then subtract from 180. Thus if secant AB meets chord CD at C on the circle in Fig. 6-36, to
    find mj y, first find the measure of inscribed j x. Obtain mj y by subtracting mj x from 180.
