Circle Theorems 1 The angle in a semi-circle is 90 The angle at the circumference is half the angle at the centre The angles in the same segment from a common chord are equal The opposite angles in a cyclic quadrilateral always add up to 180
Circle Theorems 2 The angle between a radius and a tangent is 90 The tangents to a circle from the same point will be equal length The radius through the midpoint of a chord will bisect the chord at 90
Alternate segment theorem The angle between the chord and the tangent is equal to opposite angle inside the triangle
Parts of a circle 1 Radius - half of the diameter Diameter - a line going halfway through the middle Circumference - the perimeter Chord - a line connecting two points
