Describe a situation and scenario that would require you to use your knowledge of tangents, secants and chords. Write the situation as a word problem. Use the example below as a guide for writing your own problems related to the circle. Example: Some friends and I decide to build a labyrinth (a walking path that spirals in to a center point) at a local nursing home as a form of community service. We know how far the labyrinth needs to be from the nursing home's back door, but we're not sure how wide we can make the circle formed by the outer pathway, given the space that is available. We could use the rules related to tangents, secants, radius and diameter to figure out where the center of the labyrinth should be and how wide the circle can be.
