🔹 1. Theorem: Angle at the Center
Statement:
The angle subtended by an arc at the center of a circle is twice the angle subtended at any point on the remaining part of the circle.
-
Symbolically:
If arc ABABAB subtends ∠AOB\angle AOB∠AOB at the center and ∠ACB\angle ACB∠ACB at any point on the circle, then:∠AOB=2∠ACB\angle AOB = 2 \angle ACB∠AOB=2∠ACB
🔹 2. Theorem: Angles in the Same Segment
Statement:
Angles subtended by the same arc in the same segment are equal.
-
Example:
If points A,B,C,DA, B, C, DA,B,C,D lie on a circle and ∠ACB\angle ACB∠ACB and ∠ADB\angle ADB∠ADB are on the same arc ABABAB, then:∠ACB=∠ADB\angle ACB = \angle ADB∠ACB=∠ADB
🔹 3. Theorem: Angle in a Semicircle
Statement:
The angle in a semicircle is a right angle.
-
Meaning:
If ABABAB is the diameter and CCC is any point on the semicircle, then:∠ACB=90∘\angle ACB = 90^\circ∠ACB=90∘
🔹 4. Theorem: Cyclic Quadrilateral
Statement:
The opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral (all vertices lie on the circle) are supplementary.
-
That is:
∠A+∠C=180∘,∠B+∠D=180∘\angle A + \angle C = 180^\circ,\quad \angle B + \angle D = 180^\circ∠A+∠C=180∘,∠B+∠D=180∘
🔹 5. Theorem: Tangent and Radius
Statement:
A tangent to a circle is perpendicular to the radius at the point of contact.
-
That is:
If TTT is the point of tangency, then:OT⊥tangent line at TOT \perp \text{tangent line at } TOT⊥tangent line at T
🔹 6. Theorem: Lengths of Tangents from a Point
Statement:
Tangents drawn from an external point to a circle are equal in length.
-
That is:
If PAPAPA and PBPBPB are tangents from point PPP, then:PA=PBPA = PBPA=PB
