1. Circle Properties Part I

2. A circle is a set of all points in a plane that are the same distance from a fixed point in a plane The set of points form the. Circumference

3. The line joining the centre of a circle and a point on the circumference is called the………………. Radius

4. A is a straight line segment joining two points on the circle chord

5. A chord that passes through the centre is a ………………………. diameter

6. A……………………… is a straight line that cuts the circle in two points secant

7. An arc is part of the circumference of a circle Major arc Minor arc

8. A ……………………is part of the circle bounded by two radii and an arc sector Minor sector major sector

9. A ……………………is part of the circle bounded by a chord and an arc segment Minor segment major segment

10. The arc AB subtends an angle of  at the centre of the circle. A B O  Subtends means “to extend under” or “ to be opposite to”

21. An angle in a semicircle is a right angle

22.  γ Instructions: Draw a cyclic quadrilateral (the vertices of the quadrilateral lie on the circumference Measure all four angles β  What do you notice?

23.  180-  The opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary  180- 

24.  180-  If the opposite angles of a quadrilateral are supplementary the quadrilateral is cyclic

25. β  Instructions: Draw a cyclic quadrilateral Produce a side of the quadrilateral Measure angles  and β

26.   If a side of a cyclic quadrilateral is produced, the exterior angle is equal to the interior opposite angle

27. Circle Properties Part IItangent properties

28. A tangent to a circle is a straight line that touches the circle in one point only

29. Tangent to a circle is perpendicular to the radius drawn from the point of contact.

30. Tangents to a circle from an exterior point are equal

31. When two circles touch, the line through their centres passes through their point of contact Point of contact External Contact

32. When two circles touch, the line through their centres passes through their point of contact Point of contact Internal Contact

33. The angle between a tangent and a chord through the point of contact is equal to the angle in the alternate segment  

34. The square of the length of the tangent from an external point is equal to the product of the intercepts of the secant passing through this point A B BA 2 =BC.BD C D B=external point

35. The square of the length of the tangent from an external point is equal to the product of the intercepts of the secant passing through this point A B BA 2 =BC.BD C D Note: B is the crucial point in the formula

36. Circle Properties Chord properties

37. A B C D X AX.XB=CX.XD Triangle AXD is similar to triangle CXB hence

38. A B C D X AX.XB=CX.XD Note: X is the crucial point in the formula

39. Chord AB and CD intersect at X Prove AX.XB=CX.XD A B C D X In  AXD and  CXB  AXD =  CXB (Vertically Opposite Angles)  DAX =  BCX (Angles standing on same arc)  ADX =  CBX (Angles standing on same arc)   AXD     CXB Hence (Equiangular ) AAA test for similar triangles
