geometry Flashcards
cosine rule
a^2 = b^2 + c^2 - 2bcCosA
sine rule
SinA/a = SinB/b
area of a triangle
1/2 abSinC
arc length
rθ
sector area
1/2r^2θ
segment area
1/2r^2(θ-Sinθ)
alternate segment theorem
the angle that lies between a tangent and a chord is equal to the angle subtended by the same chord in the alternate segment
angles at the centre theorem
the angle at the centre is twice the angle at the circumference
angles in the same segment theorem
angles in the same segment are equal
angles in a semi circle
the angle in a semi circle is 90 degrees
chord of a circle
if the radius is perpendicular to a chord it bisects it (splits it in half)
cyclic quadrilateral
the opposite angles in a cyclic quadrilateral equal 180 degrees
tangents of a circle
the radius meets the tangent at 90 degrees
tangents which meet at the same point are equal in length
