Intersecting Secants Theorem

Geometry

In Euclidean geometry, the intersecting secants theorem, also called the secant theorem, describes the relation among the line segments created by two secant lines that intersect outside a circle.

Equation, Concepts

Entity-backed identity for the statement-form enum value this theorem already carries, resolved to a mathematics concept by an explicit value-to-entity map (phase 3 bucket conversion, docs\design_entity_backed_browse_buckets_20260928.md). The statement-form fact itself stays on the theorem unchanged.
