    Formulas for a circle

    Circumference of a sector = 2𝜋r


    2

    Area of a Circle = 𝜋r
    X
    Sector Area = 360 x

    Arc Length = x
    Property 1
    .
    A Tangent and a
    radius always
    meet to make a 90
    degree angle

    TANGEN
    T
    Property 2
    .
    The triangle
    formed by two
    radius in a circle is
    an isosceles Radius

    triangle

    Radius
    d
    Hence: Ch
    or

    2 base angles will


    be the same
    Property 3
    The Perpendicular
    bisector of any
    chord always passes
    through the centre of
    the circle and makes Centre
    a 90-degree angle
    and divides the cord
    in half
    Property 4
    Instance 1 Instance 2
    For any chord, The
    angle formed at the
    centre is double the
    angle formed at the
    circumference 2x
    Property 5
    Angle formed in a
    semicircle is 90

    always 90-degrees

    centre 180
    Property 6
    Angles in the same
    segment are always
    equal so all angle
    Are equal and all
    angle are equal.
    Property 7
    Opposite angles in a B
    cyclic Quadrilateral sum A
    up to 180 degrees e.g:
    (A+C=180) & (D+B=180)
    D C

    *all 4 points should touch


    the circumference of the
    circle
    Property 8
    Line A & B are of A
    equal length , the
    angles within the
    triangles formed are
    also equal and the
    radius are also equal.

    B
    Property 9
    y
    The Angle between a
    Tangent and a chord
    (angle X) is equal to
    the angle in the
    opposite segment
    (angle Y)

    x
    Property 10

    In this instance if you H

    want to find angle C


    x
    then you need to half
    the reflex angle of x /
    A B
    half angle H …
    or
    Angle ACB is half of
    reflex of Angle AOB C

    (marked H in the
    diagram)
    Property 11
    When 2 chords
    are drawn which
    are of some
    length they they
    O
    will be
    equidistant
