Circle Theorems

The document outlines key circle theorems, including properties of chords, tangents, and angles related to circles. It states that equal chords are equidistant from the center, tangents from an external point are equal, and various angle relationships in cyclic quadrilaterals. Additionally, it explains the alternate segment theorem regarding angles between tangents and chords.

Circle theorems

equal chords are equidistant from the


centre,
chords equidistant from the centre are
equal in length
the perpendicular bisector of a chord
passes through the centre

tangents from an external point are


equal in length.

The angle in a semi-circle is a right


angle (90°)

The angle between the tangent and


radius is 90°

The angle at the centre of a circle is


twice the angle at the circumference
Angles in the same segment are equal

The opposite angles of a cyclic


quadrilateral add up to 180°

Each exterior angle of a cyclic


quadrilateral is equal to the interior
angle opposite to it

Alternate segment theorem


(explanation：The segment that the angle does not

cross is called the alternate segment. This theorem

states the angle between the tangent and chord is

always equal to the angle in the alternate segment. )
