ONeil Clarke Mathematics Institute Circle Theorems

Number 0. A straight line drawn from the centre of a circle to bisect a chord which is not a diameter is a right angle to the chord. Hence from the diagram AOB is isosceles and hence OAB = OBA

Number 1(a) Angle formed at the centre of a circle is TWICE angle formed at the circumference subtended by the same chord (arc) 1(b) Angle formed in a semi circle opposite diameter is a right angle i.e AXB= 90

Number 2. Angles in the same segment are equal (Angles standing on the same chord are equal)
