standard_description: Construct a tangent line from a point outside a given circle to the circle.
problem_activity: Problem 1
In the diagram below,
$$\angle CAB$$
is a central angle,
$$\angle CDB$$
is an inscribed angle, and
$$\widehat{CB}$$
is an intercepted arc.

What do you notice about the inscribed angle and the central angle in relation to the intercepted arc?
The two diagrams below also show that
$$\angle CAB$$
is a central angle,
$$\angle CDB$$
is an inscribed angle, and
$$\widehat{CB}$$
is an intercepted arc.
