Circle Fact 1. Isosceles Triangle
Any triangle AOB
with A & B on the
circumference r a
and O at the
centre of a circle 180 - 2a
is isosceles.
r a
Circle Fact 2. Tangent and Radius
The tangent to a
circle is
perpendicular to
the radius at the
point of contact.
Circle Fact 3. Two Tangents
The triangle
produced by two
crossing
tangents is
isosceles.
Circle Fact 4. Chords
If a radius bisects
a chord, it does so
at right angles,
and if a radius
cuts a chord at
right angles, it
bisects it.
Circle Theorem 1: Double Angle
The angle
subtended by an
arc at the centre
of a circle is twice
the angle
subtended at the
circumference.
Circle Theorem 2: Semicircle
The angle in a
semicircle is a
right angle.
Circle Theorem 3: Segment Angles
Angles in the
same segment
are equal.
Circle Theorem 4: Cyclic Quadrilateral
The sum of the
opposite angles of
a cyclic
quadrilateral is
180o.
Circle Theorem 5: Alternate Segment
The angle
between a chord
and the tangent at
the point of
contact is equal to
the angle in the
alternate
segment.
Circle Theorem 1: Double Angle
The angle
subtended by an
arc at the centre
of a circle is twice
the angle
subtended at the
circumference.
