CHAPTER 14: CIRCLES III

14.1 PROPERTIES OF ANGLES IN CIRCLES

1. Angle subtended by an arc at the centre is twice the angle subtended at the circumferenceby the same arc.

1b

x = 2y

2. Angle subtended at the circumference in a semicircle is 90o.

x = y = 90o

3. a) Angles subtended at the circumference by the same arc are equal. b

r = s

b) Angles subtended at the circumference by arcs of the same length are the same.

x = y

4 a) The sum of interior opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral is 180o.

p + r = 180o

q + s = 180o

b) The exterior angle and the corresponding interior opposite angle of cyclic quadrilateral are

equal

x = y

5. Angle between a tangent and a chord through the point of contact is equal to the angle

in the alternate segment.

a = b

x = y

6. A tangent to a circle is perpendicular to the radius drawn to the point of contact.

7.

i) Tangents drawn from an external point are

equal, AB = CB

ii) The tangents subtend equal angles at thecentre, AOB = COB

iii) The line joining the external point to the

centre of the circle bisects the angle between

the tangents,

ABO = CBO

p + q = 180
