    Circle Theorems

    Uploaded by

    Faiz Ahmed
    The document defines several key terms and properties related to circles: 1. A circle features a diameter, radius, circumference, and chords that divide the circle into segments. 2. When angles or shapes are constructed within a circle, certain angle properties exist, such as angles on the same chord being equal and the angle at the center being twice the angle at the circumference. 3. Additional properties include a right angle formed when an angle is in a semi-circle, and opposite angles in a cyclic quadrilateral adding up to 180 degrees.

    Properties of circles
    When angles, triangles and quadrilaterals
    are constructed in a circle, the angles
    have certain properties
    We are going to look at 4 such properties
    before trying out some questions together

    An ANGLE on a chord
    An
    Alternatively
    that Angles
    sits on a
    Weangle
    say Angles

    segment
    around
    the
    are circumference
    equal
    as long as it stays
    in the same segment

    From now on, we will only consider the CHORD, not the ARC

    Typical examples
    Find
    a and
    b
    Very angles
    often, the
    exam
    tries to confuse you by
    drawing
    the
    chords
    Imagine in
    the
    Chord
    Angle have
    a = 44 to see the
    YOU
    Angles on the same
    chord for yourself

    Imagine the Chord


    Angle b = 28

    Angle at the centre


    A

    Consider the two angles


    which stand on this
    same chord
    What do you notice
    about the angle at the
    circumference?

    Chord

    It is half the angle at the


    centre

    We say If two angles stand on the same chord,


    then the angle at the centre is twice the angle at
    the circumference

    Angle at the centre


    Its still true when we move
    The apex, A, around the
    circumference

    272

    136

    As long as it stays in the


    same segment
    Of course, the reflex angle
    at the centre is twice the
    angle at circumference too!!

    We say If two angles stand on the same chord,


    then the angle at the centre is twice the angle at
    the circumference

    Angle at Centre
    A Special Case
    a

    When the angle stands


    on the diameter, what is
    the size of angle a?
    The diameter is a straight
    line so the angle at the
    centre is 180
    Angle a = 90

    We say The angle in a semi-circle is a Right Angle

    A Cyclic Quadrilateral
    is a Quadrilateral
    whose vertices lie on the
    circumference of a circle
    Opposite angles in a
    Cyclic Quadrilateral
    Add up to 180
    They are supplementary

    We say
    Opposite angles in a cyclic quadrilateral add up to 180

    Questions

    Could you define a rule for this situation?

    Tangents

    When a tangent to a circle is drawn, the


    angles inside & outside the circle have
    several properties.

    1. Tangent & Radius


    A tangent is perpendicular
    to the radius of a circle

    2.

    Two tangents from a point outside circle


    Tangents are equal
    PA = PB
    PO bisects angle APB
    <APO = <BPO

    90
    g
    g
    90

    <PAO = <PBO = 90
    AO = BO (Radii)

    The two Triangles APO and BPO are Congruent

    3 Alternate Segment Theorem


    Alternate Segment

    The angle between a tangent


    and a chord is equal to any
    Angle in the alternate segment

    Angle in Alternate Segment


    Angle between tangent & chord
    We say
    The angle between a tangent and a chord is equal to any
    Angle in the alternate (opposite) segment
