Circle Fact 1. Isosceles Triangle Any triangle AOB with A & B on the circumference and O at the centre of a circle is isosceles. r a 180 - 2a 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 Proof The angle subtended by an arc at the centre of a circle is twice the angle subtended at the circumference.
