Properties of a Circle
Properties of a Circle
PROPERTY 1
The perpendicular bisector of a
chord passes through the
centre
PROPERTY 2
Equal chords are equidistant
from the centre and chords
equidistant from the centre are
equal in length
PROPERTY 3
Two tangents drawn to a circle
from the same point outside
the circle are equal in length
PROPERTY 4
The angle in a semi-circle is a
right angle (900 )
PROPERTY 5
The angle between the tangent
and the radius is 900
PROPERTY 6 PROPERTY 7
The angle at the centre of a Angles in the segment are
circle is twice the angle at the equal
circumference
PROPERTY 8
The opposite angles of a cyclic
quadrilateral add up to 1800
PROPERTY 9
Each exterior angle of a cyclic
quadrilateral is equal to the
interior angle opposite to it
PROPERTY 10
(ALTERNATE
SEGMENT THEOREM)
The angle between a tangent
and a chord at the point of
contact is equal to the angle
subtended by the chord in the
alternate segment
