symmetric properties of circles Flashcards
1
Q
OM perpendicular to AB therefore, AM = MB
A
perpendicular bisector of chord
2
Q
AB = PQ, OM = ON
A
equal chords
3
Q
PQ perpendicular to OA, where PQ is a tangent to circle at A
A
tangent is perpendicular to radius
4
Q
PA = PB, where PA and PB are tangents to circle at A and B respectively and APO = BPO
A
tangents from an external point are equal
5
Q
AOB = 2 APB (rmb that it must touch the circumference)
A
angle at centre = 2 angle at circumference
6
Q
APB = 90 (rmb that it must touch the circumference)
A
right angle in a semicircle
7
Q
APB = AQB = ARB (rmb that it must touch the circumference)
A
angles in the same segment are equal
8
Q
a=c, b=d (rmb that it must touch the circumference)
A
angles in opposite segments are supplementary
