Circles

1. The angle subtended by an arc at the center is twice the angle

subtended by the arc in the opposite segment.
2. Angles subtended by an arc in the same segment are always equal.
3. Angle in a semicircle is always a right angle.
4. Cyclic Quadrilateral: quadrilateral whose all four vertices lie on the
boundary of the circle is called a cyclic quadrilateral.
5. Opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary.
6. In a cyclic quadrilateral the exterior angle is equal to interior
opposite angle.
7. Perpendicular from the center of a circle bisect the chord.
8. A line joining the center of a circle and the midpoint of a chord is
always perpendicular to the chord.
9. Equal arcs of a circle subtend equal angles at the center.
10. If the angles subtended by arcs at the center are equal then the arcs
are equal.
11. Equal chords of a circle subtend equal angles at the center.
12. If the angles subtended by chords at the center are equal then the
chords are equal.
13. Radius of a circle is perpendicular to the tangent at the point of
contact.
14. Lengths of tangents from an external point of a circle are equal.
15. Tangents drawn from an external point are equally inclined to the
line joining the center and the external point.
16. The two tangents from an external point and the radii at point of

 contact form a cyclic quadrilateral.
17. If two chords intersect internally or externally, then the rectangle
formed by two segments of a chord is equal in area to the rectangle
formed by the two segments of the other chord.
i.e. 𝑃𝐴 × 𝑃𝐵 = 𝑃𝐶 × 𝑃𝐷

18. Angle made between a chord and tangent at point of contact is

equal to the angle subtended by the chord in the opposite segment.
19. If two circles touch each other:
a) Externally then distance between the centers is equal to the sum
of their radii. i.e. r1 + r2 = d
b) Internally then distance between the centers is equal to the
difference of their radii. i.e. r1 - r2 = d
20. If a tangent and a secant is drawn from an external point of a circle
then the square of tangent is equal to the product of lengths of
secant. i.e. PT2 = 𝑃𝐴 × 𝑃𝐵.
