this spirit, Collins books are packed with inspiration, innovation and practical expertise. They place you at the centre
of a world of possibility and give you exactly what you need to explore it.

11 It follows from theorem 1 that wherever point C is 5 19.5 cm
on the circumference, the angle subtended from
arc AB at the circumference is always half the 6 ∠OCD = 58° (triangle OCD is isosceles), ∠OCB =
angle subtended at the centre. So every possible 90° (tangent/radius theorem), so ∠DCB = 32°,
angle subtended at the circumference from arc hence triangle BCD is isosceles (2 equal angles)

hence the same angle at the circumference. This 7 a ∠AOB = cos–1 OA

d Points are A(6, 2), B(1, 1) and C(2, 24). Using
Pythagoras’ theorem, AB2 = 26, BC2 = 26 and and so half its length.
AC2 = 52 so AB2 + BC2 = AC2 hence ∠ABC

DX = –b + 21 (a + b) = 21 (a – b) = 21 DB which
is a – b, hence the midpoint of one diagonal is
the same as the midpoint of the other diagonal,
hence they bisect each other.
