The document summarizes several theorems about angles and segments in circles. It states that the angle at the center is twice the angle at the circumference. Angles in the same segment or in a semicircle are equal. The sum of opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral is 180 degrees and the exterior angle of a cyclic quadrilateral equals the interior opposite angle. The angle between a tangent and radius or chord equals the angle in the alternate segment. If two lines are tangent to a circle, corresponding angles are equal.
