It doesn't matter whether secant lines intersect inside or outside the circle, right? Scholars extend concepts from the previous lesson to investigate angles created by secant lines that intersect at a point exterior to the circle. They then extend this new concept to when one or both of the lines are tangent rather than secant lines.
