bisector of the angles between the

 The angle that an arc of a circle
subtends at the centre is double
that which it subtends at any point
on the remaining part of the
circle.

circle are equal (without proof).
 Angle in a semi-circle is a right
angle.
(ii) Cyclic Properties:
 Opposite angles of a cyclic
quadrilateral are supplementary.
 The exterior angle of a cyclic
quadrilateral is equal to the
opposite interior angle (without
proof).
(iii)Tangent and Secant Properties:
 The tangent at any point of a circle
and the radius through the point
are perpendicular to each other.
 If two circles touch, the point of
contact lies on the straight line
joining their centres.
 From any point outside a circle, two
tangents can be drawn, and they
are equal in length.
 If two chords intersect internally or
externally then the product of the
lengths of the segments are equal.
 If a chord and a tangent intersect
externally, then the product of the
lengths of segments of the chord is
equal to the square of the length of
the tangent from the point of
contact to the point of
intersection.
 If a line touches a circle and from
the point of contact, a chord is
drawn, the angles between the
tangent and the chord are
respectively equal to the angles in
the corresponding alternate
segments.
