Circles Flashcards
Circumference=
pi x diameter or 2pi x radius
Area=
pi r^2
Radius=
√Area/pi
Arc length=
Angle/360 x 2pi x r
Area of sector=
Angle/360 x pi x r^2
Circle Theorem 1
Every angle subtended at the circumference of a semi-circle by the diameter is a right angle
Circle Theorem 2
The angle at the centre is twice the angle at the circumference when they are both subtended by the same arc
Cirlce Theorem 3
In a cyclic quadrilateral the opposite angles sum to 180
Circle Theorem 4
Angles in the same segment are equal
Circle Theorem 5
The tangent at any point on a circle is perpendicular to the radius at that point
Circle Theorem 6
Tangents from an external point are equal in length
Circle Theorem 7
The angle between a tangent and a chord is equal to the angle in the alternate segment
Circle Theorem 8
A radius bisects a chord at 90 degrees
