Similar Triangles
If triangles are similar: Corresponding side lengths are in proportion. (One triangle is an enlargement of the other) Corresponding angles in the triangle are the same 25m 20m x 4 m It doesn’t matter which way round you make the fraction BUT you must do the same for both sides It is sensible to start with the x so it is on the top
If the angles of two triangles are the same, they are similar triangles.

Lesson 6 Circle Language and Angle at Centre
Equal Radii: Two radii in a circle always form an isosceles triangle Isos, = radii
* Base ‘s isos Δ, = radii x Sum of Δ = 180°
Angle at the centre is twice the angle at the circumference a a a a 2a
Angle on the circumference of a semicircle is a right angle in semi-circle
Lesson 7 Tangent is perpendicular to the radius and Angles on Same Arc are equal
Tangent is perpendicular to the radius
Angles on the same arc are equal ‘s On the same arch equal

Cyclic Quadrilaterals
A quadrilateral which has all four vertices on the circumference of a circle is called a Cyclic quadrilateral Rule 1:
Rule 2: The exterior angle of a cyclic quadrilateral is equal to the opposite interior angle
