    This document discusses calculating angles formed by tangents and secants to circles. It presents the theorem that the measure of an angle formed by a tangent and a secant, two secants, or two tangents intersecting outside a circle is equal to one-half the difference of the measures of the intercepted arcs. Several examples are worked through applying this theorem to find unknown angle measures. The document also reviews related theorems about inscribed angles, chords, and secants.
