CIRCLE GEOMETRY Chenda Bun, Kasey La, Ardia Sarao
DEFINITIONS Circle – A set of points of equal
distance from the center.
Circumference – The perimeter of the circle.
Diameter – A chord that passes through the centre.
Radius – Half of the diameter.
Chord – A line segment that joins two points on the circle.
Tangent - A straight line that touches the circle at a single point.
Arc – Any part of a curve of a circle.
Major Arc – The larger arc.
Minor Arc – The smaller arc.
Central Angle – An angle that has it’s vertex at the center, two radii form the arms of the angle
Inscribed Angle – An angle that has it’s vertex on the circle and two chords form the arms.
Intercepted Arc - That part of a circle that lies between two lines that intersect it.
Subtended – Closed off by an arc or line
Segment – A part of a line or curve between two points.
Cyclic Quadrilateral - A quadrilateral whose vertices all lie on a single circle.
RULE #1
The perpendicular line from the centre of a circle to a chord bisects the chord.
RULE #2
An inscribed angle is subtended by a diameter than all the angles should equal to 90°
90°

RULE #3 If an inscribed angle and a central angle are
subtended by the same arc then the inscribed angle is half the central angle.

RULE #4
All perpendicular bisectors pass through the center. Both are diameters of the circle.
RULE #5
When two or more inscribed angles are subtended by the same arc then all angles are the same.

RULE #6
If two chords in a circle are parallel then they share the same angles.

RULE #7
If two tangents are drawn from a common point, exterior to a circle then the length of the tangent lines should be the same.

RULE #8
When two angles are opposite from each other in a cyclic quadrilateral, then they should be supplementary.

<BCD + <DAC = 180° 110° + 70° = 180°

RULE #9 When an angle is formed between a tangent line
and a chord then it is equal to the inscribed angle on the opposite side of the chord.
70°
RULE #10 A convex polygon with n sides can be divided into
(n-2) triangles
The sum of the interior angles of a polygon with n sides = 180(n-2)
# OF TRIANGLES = n-2 # OF TRIANGLES = 5-2 # OF TRIANGLES = 3
SUM OF INTERIOR <‘s = 180(n-2) =180(5-2) =180(3) =540
