(1) Tangents A tangent to a circle is a straight line
that touches the circle at one point.
The point where the tangent touches the circle is called the point of contact.
Not tangents
TangentsDrawing a radius to any tangent to a circle always produces a 900 angle

The angles in circles
For these triangles:
One side is the radius of the circle
One side is a tangent to the circle
Since these two lines meet at right angles- these are right angle triangles!
Right angle Right

Once you can spot the right angles triangles- you can find missing angles
Remember: Angles in a triangle add up to 1800
900

a = 580
320 + 900 + a = 1800
a
32 + 90 + 58 = 180 d + d + 900 = 1800
45 + 45 + 90 = 180
d = 450

Angles in a semi circle
Use the diameter of a circle as the base of a triangle
Any triangle you make using this base will form a right angled triangle

(2) Two tangents
Two tangents will create Isosceles Triangles
You need to identify:
Equal pairs of lines (length)
Equal pairs of angles

Use the right angle (tangent to radius) to calculate the 200
Use the isosceles triangle to show 200 angle

Since angles in a triangle add up to 1800 show the 1400

(3) Cyclic Quadrilateral
A
B
C
D
Any 4 points on a circle joined to form a quadrilateral
In any cyclic Quadrilateral opposite corners sum to 1800
So:
A + C = 1800
D + B = 1800
E
FG
HSo:
E + G = 1800
F + H = 1800

(4) Major and minor segments
Providing all the angles are in the same segments they will be equal.
Major segment
Minor segment
Any circle can be divided into two unequal parts. These are called segments
The larger part is the major segment.
The smaller part is the minor segment.
The line that divides the circle is called a chord.
You can use your chord as the base of a triangle
Or…
ab
c
d
a = b = c = d

(5) Angles at the centre/circumferenceFrom a chord you can create a triangle at the centre or at the circumference of the circle.
At the centre
At the circumference
The angle at the centre is twice the size of the angle at the circumference
