Circle Theorem

Parts of Circle

The angle between the tangent and the chord is equal to the angle subtended by the chord in the opposite segment of the circle.

Alternate Segment Theorem

Angle at Centre Theorem

The angle subtended at the centre of a circle by an arc is twice the angle subtended at any point on the circumference by the same arc

Angle in the Same Segment Theorem

Angles subtended by the same chord in the same segment of a circle are equal

Angle in Semi Circle Theorem

An angle subtended by a diameter at the circumference of a circle is always 90°

Cyclic Quadilateral Theorem

In a cyclic quadrilateral (a four-sided shape where all vertices lie on the circumference of a circle), the sum of opposite angles is always 180°
