Circle theorems

Cards (8)

  • The angle subtended by an arc at the centre is twice the angle subtended at the circumference
  • The angles at the circumference subtended by the same arc are equal
  • Opposite angles in a cyclic quadrilateral add to 180
  • The angle at the circumference in a semicircle is a right angle
    P = right angle
    1. The angle between a tangent and a radius is 90
  • Tangents which meet at the same point are equal in length
  • The perpendicular from the centre of the chord bisects the chord
  • The angle between a tangent and a chord is equal to the angle in the alternate segment
