Angles at the centre and circumference
More simply, the angle at the centre is double the angle at the circumference.
1 of 8
Angles in the same segment
The angles at the circumference subtended by the same arc are equal. Put more simply, angles in the same segment are equal.
2 of 8
Cyclic quadrilaterals
A cyclic quadrilateral is a quadrilateral drawn inside a circle. Every vertex of the quadrilateral must touch the circumference of the circle.
3 of 8
Angles in a semicircle
The angle at the circumference in a semicircle is a right angle.

Tangents 1
The angle between a tangent and a radius is 90°
5 of 8
Tangents 2
Tangents which meet at the same point are equal in length.

Chords
he perpendicular from the centre of a circle to a chord bisects the chord.

The alternate segment theorem
The angle between a tangent and a chord is equal to the angle in the alternate segment.
