    Here are 3 problems solved using circle theorems: 1) Find x if the angle at the centre is 112°: Using the angle at the centre rule, the angle at the centre is twice the angle at the circumference. Therefore, 112° = 2x 56° = x 2) Find a if the arc subtended is 72°: Using angles subtended from an arc are equal, the angle subtended by the same arc is 72° Therefore, a = 72° 3) Find b if the diameter subtends an angle of 45°: Using angles subtended from the diameter, the angle subtended by a diameter is always 90°

    Radius Diameter Centre Chord Minor segment

    Circumference Arc Major segment Sector Tangent


    Investigation

    1) Draw a line from the centre of


    your circle to a point on the
    circumference.
    2) Draw the tangent at that point.
    3) Measure the angle between the
    radius and the tangent.

    What can you tell me?


    Theorem

    A tangent is perpendicular to a radius.


    Investigation

    1) Draw two lines from the centre to


    the circumference.
    3) Draw two more lines to the other
    side of your circle from the same points
    that you drew the first two lines.

    What do you notice?


    Theorem

    The angle at the centre is


    twice the angle at the
    circumference.
    Proof

    = (180 – x)/2

    = (180 – y)/2

    = 180 – (½x + ½y) x° y°

    = 360 – (x + y)

    ∴ the angle at the centre is twice


    the angle at the circumference.
    Investigation

    1) Draw the circle’s diameter.


    2) Draw two lines to a point at the
    circumference.
    3) Measure the subtended angle of the
    diameter from the circumference.

    What do you notice?


    Theorem

    The angle in a semi-circle is 90o.


    Proof
    = 180° as it is a
    straight line.

    Using “the angle at the


    centre is twice the angle at
    the circumference” means
    that

    =½
    = ½ x 180°
    = 90°

    ∴ the angle in a semi-circle is 90o.


    Investigation

    1) On your circle pick 4 points a,b,c,d. c


    Don’t pick points directly opposite each
    other.
    2) Connect points a and b to c.
    3) Connect points a and b to d.
    4) Measure the angles subtended from a b
    and b at c and d.
    a
    What do you notice?
    Theorem

    Angles subtended by the


    same arc are equal.
    b

    a
    Proof
    Using “the angle at the
    centre is twice the angle at
    x°
    the circumference” means
    that
    y°
    =2

    =2

    2x = 2y ∴ x = y 2x°
    2y°

    ∴ angles subtended by the


    same arc are equal.
    Investigation

    1) Draw a quadrilateral inside your


    circle. Every vertex must be
    touching the circumference of the
    circle.
    2) Measure the angles inside the
    quadrilateral.

    What can you tell me?


    (Of course they add up to 360; it’s a
    quadrilateral!)
    Theorem

    Opposite angles in a cyclic


    quadrilateral sum to 180o.
    Proof
    Using “the angle at the
    centre is twice the angle at
    the circumference” means
    that

    =2
    x°
    =2

    2x + 2y = 360º
    y°
    2(x + y) = 360º
    x + y = 180º
    ∴ opposite angles in a cyclic quadrilateral
    sum to 180o.
    Investigation

    1) Draw a triangle inside your circle


    with all vertices on the
    circumference.
    2) Draw a tangent at one of the
    vertices.
    3) Measure the angles between the
    tangent and the triangle, and the
    angles of the triangle.

    What can you tell me?


    Theorem

    Angles in alternate segments are equal.


    Proof
    For cases when the chord isn’t a
    diameter?

    x°

    90-x

    x°

    Using “angles subtended by the same arc are equal”


    ∴ angles in alternate segments are equal.
    Investigation

    1) Draw two tangents from your


    circle that meet at a point.
    2) Measure the lengths of these
    tangents.

    What can you tell me?


    Theorem

    Tangents from a point are equal.


    Proof

    Using Pythagoras’ Theorem

    ∴ tangents r
    from a point
    are equal.

    Answers
    1) 67º because angles subtended by the same arc are equal.
    2) 56º because the angle at the centre is twice that at the circumference.
    3) 69º because the angle in a semi-circle is 90º.
    4) 37º because the radii make an isosceles triangle.
    5) 109º because the radii make an isosceles triangle.
    6) 44º because angles subtended by the same arc are equal.
    7) 111º because opposite angles in a cyclic quadrilateral sum to 180º.
    8) 90º because the tangent and the radius are perpendicular.
    9) 29º because angles in alternate segments are equal.
    10) 67º because opposite angles in a cyclic quadrilateral sum to 180º.

    12) 27º because angles in alternate segments are equal.
