cant is a straight line which cuts the circum-ference in two points; thus, CD is asecant. 10. An Inscribed Angle isan angle whose vertex is in the cir-cumference and whose sides arechords; as, ABO in the next figure. 11. An Inscribed Polygon is apolygon whose sides are chords, thevertices of the… … AXIOMS. 1. The radii, and also the diameters, of a circle, or ofequal circles, are equal. 2.
