Unit 3232.1 Compass Bearings
Notes1.Bearings are written as three-figure numbers.2.They are measured clockwise from North.
The bearing of A from O is 040°
The bearing of A from O is 210°

Unit 3232.2 Angles and Circles: Results
A chord is a line joining any two points on the circle.The perpendicular bisector is a second line that cuts the first line in half and is at right angles to it.The perpendicular bisector of a chord will always pass through the centre of a circle.
?
?
When the ends of a chord are joined to centre of a circle, an isosceles triangle is formed, so the two base angles marked are equal.
?
Unit 3232.3 Angles and Circles:
Examples
When a triangle is drawn in a semi-circle as shown the angle on the perimeter is always a right angle.?
A tangent is a line that just touches a circle.A tangent is always perpendicular to the radius.?
ExampleFind the angles marked with letters in the diagram if O is the centre of the circle
SolutionAs both the triangles are in a semi-circles, angles a and b must each be 90°?

Unit 3232.4 Angles and Circles:
Examples
SolutionIn triangle OAB, OA is a radiusand AB a tangent, so the anglebetween them = 90°HenceIn triangle OAC, OA and OC are both radii of the circle.Hence OAC is an isosceles triangle, and b = c.
ExampleFind the angles a, b and c, if AB is a tangent and O is the centre of the circle.

Unit 3232.5 Angles and Circles: More
Results
The angle subtended by an arc, PQ, at the centre is twice the angle subtended on the perimeter.
Angles subtended at the circumference by a chord (on the same side of the chord) are equal: that is in the diagram a = b.
In cyclic quadrilaterals (quadrilaterals where all; 4 vertices lie on a circle), opposite angles sum to 180°; that is a + c = 180° and b + d = 180°?

Unit 3232.7 Circles and Tangents:
Results
If two tangents are drawn from a point T to a circle with a centre O, and P and R are the points of contact of the tangents with the circle, then, using symmetry,
(a) PT = RT(b) Triangles TPO and TRO are congruent?
?
For any two intersecting chords, as shown,
The angle between a tangent and a chord equals an angle on the circumference subtended by the same chord.e.g. a = b in the diagram.This is known by alternate segment theorem

Unit 3232.8 Circles and Tangents:
Examples
Example 1Find the angles x and y in the diagram.
SolutionFrom the alternate angle segment theorem, x = 62°Since TA and TB are equal in length ∆TAB is isosceles and angle ABT = 62°
Hence
