  • Alternate segment theorem
    The angle between a tangent and a chord is equal to the angle in the alternate segment.
  • Angles at centre/circumference
    the angle at the centre is double the angle at the circumference.
  • Angles in same segment
    angles in the same segment are equal.
  • What is a cyclic quadrilateral?
    A cyclic quadrilateral is a quadrilateral drawn inside a circle. Every corner of the quadrilateral must touch the circumference of the circle.
  • Cyclic quadrilateral angles
    The opposite angles in a cyclic quadrilateral add up to 180°.
  • Angles in a semicircle
    The angle in a semicircle is a right angle.
  • Tangent and radius
    The angle between a tangent and a radius is 90°.
  • Tangents meet at same point
    Tangents which meet at the same point are equal in length.
  • Chord intersect
    A chord and tangent make a 90 degree angle
