Circle Theorems are laws that apply to both angles and lengths

Circle Theorems are laws that apply to both angles and lengths

when circles are involved. We’ll deal with them in groups.

#1 Non-Circle Theorems

These are not circle theorems, but are useful in questions involving circle theorems.

“Angle between radius and tangent is 90°”.

“Angle in semicircle is 90°.”

Note

that the hypotenuse of the triangle MUST be the diameter.

Bro Tip: Remember the wording in the black boxes, because you’re often required to justify in words a particular angle in an exam.

Radius is of constant length
Bro Tip: When you have multiple radii,

put a mark on each of them to remind yourself they’re the same length.

This result is that any triangle with one vertex at the centre, and the other two on the circumference, must be isosceles.

Let angle BAO be a. Triangle ABO is isosceles so ABO

= a. Remaining angle in triangle must be 180-2a. Thus BOC = 2a. Since triangle BOC is isosceles, angle BOC = OCB = 90 – a. Thus angle ABC = ABO + OBC = a + 90 – a = 90.
