Any triangle where two of the sides are radii of the same circle must be isosceles.
isos tri = radii, angle sum = 180

When an angle is drawn from the ends of an arc to the centre of a circle, it is twice the size of an angle drawn from the ends of the same arc to any point on the opposite circumference of the circle.
Angle @ centre = 2 x angle at circumference
2 of 8
When the arc forms a semi-circle, any angle on the circumference is a right angle
angle semi-circle = 90
3 of 8
Angles extending to the circumference from the same arc are equal
angles on same arc =
4 of 8
On a cyclic quad, opposite angles are supplementry
cyc quad, opp angles add up to 180
5 of 8
On a cyclic quad, each opposite angle is equal to the interior opposite angle
cyc quad, ext angle = int opp angle
6 of 8
When a tangent is drawn to a circle, it makes a right angle with the radius at the point of contact
tgt right angle rad
7 of 8
the angle between a chord and a tangent equals the angle in the opposite segment
angle between tgt and chord = angle on chord in opp segment
