CIRCLE THEOREM
Re-cap

● The perpendicular bisector of a chord passes through the centre of a circle.


● Equal chords are equidistant from the centre and chords equidistant from the centre
are equal in length.
● The angle between a tangent and the radius of a circle is a right angle.
● The angle subtended at the centre of a circle by an arc is twice the angle subtended at
the circumference by the arc.
● Angles in the same segment, subtended by the same arc, are equal.
● 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.
● The alternate segment theorem states that the angle between the tangent and chord
is always equal to the angle in the alternate segment.
