Class : IGCSE Extended TANDEM KUWAIT Tandem notes : Angle properties
Subject : Mathematics
• Sum of angle around a point is3600
• Linear pairs are supplementary
• Sum of interior angles of a triangle is 1800
• Exterior angle property : The measure of the exterior angle of a triangle
is the sum of the remote interior angles
• If any two angles of a triangle are equal then it is an isosceles triangle , sides
opposite to equal sides are equal in measure
• If all the tree angles of a triangle are equal then it is an equilateral triangle
and all sides are equal and each angles are 600
• Vertically opposite angles are equal in measure

• When two parallel lines are intersected by a transversal eight
angles are formed , Then
Corresponding angles Alternate interior angles Co interior angles
are equal in measure are equal in measure are supplementary
<1 = <5
<2 = <6 <4 = <6 < 4 + < 5 =180
<3 = <7 <3 = <5 < 3 + < 6 =180
<4 = <8
• Sum of interior angles of a convex polygon
with n sides is n−2×180
• Sum of exterior angles of a convex polygon is always 3600
• The angle subtended at the centre of a circle is twice the angle
subtended at the circumference
• Angle subtended by an arc in the same segment of circle are equal

• The perpendicular drawn from the centre will bisect the chord
• The line segment joining the centre and the mid point of a chord
will perpendicular to the chord
• Angle in a semi circle is right angle
• Tangents from an external point to the circle are
equal in length
• Tangent to the circle is perpendicular to the radius at point of contact
• Properties of tangents

• The angle made by a chord with a tangent is same as the angle in
the alternate segment
• Opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary
• Exterior angle of a cyclic quadrilateral is same as the opposite
interior angle
• Properties of tangents
