Theorems
Theorems If chords are congruent, then they are equidistant from the center of the circle.
Theorems If the diameter is perpendicular to a chord, then it bisects the chord and its arcs. The perpendicular bisector of a chord contains the center of the circle.
Examples 1)Find AB. 2) Find AB & AO.
Vocabulary & Theorems Inscribed Angle – angle whose vertex is on the circle. Two inscribed angles intercept the same arc then they are congruent.
Theorems An angle inscribed in a semicircle is a right angle. Opposite angles of a quadrilateral inscribed in a circle are supplementary. An angle inscribed in a semicircle is a right angle.
Examples 1) Find the numbered angles. 2) Find x and y.
