Circle Theorems
Angle in a Semicircle There is always a 90º angle opposite the diameter.
Angle at the Centre is Twice the Angle at the Circumference X Y
Opposite Angles in a Cyclic Quadrilateral add up to 180º X Y
Angles in the Same Segment are the Same X
Radius and Tangent meet at 90º
A B C AC=BC Any two tangents from the same point are the same length. The angle between the tangent and the radius drawn to meet it is 90º.
Alternate Segment Theorem X Y There are two pairs of equal angles. One made at the tangent line is equal to the angle in the triangle on the opposite side.
