Angles in Circles H 1

The angle subtended in a semicircle is a right angle. The angle subtended by an arc at the centre of a circle is twice that at the circumference. The opposite angles in a cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary (add up to 180°). Angles subtended by the same arc (or chord) are equal.
