Overview
Circles are one of the most fundamental shapes in geometry. This chapter explores the various properties of circles, focusing on chords, angles, arcs, and cyclic quadrilaterals. Understanding these concepts is crucial for solving geometric problems and forms the foundation for advanced geometry topi
Key Concepts
When a chord PQ is drawn
When a chord PQ is drawn in a circle, it creates angles at different points. The angle POQ at center O is the angle subtended by chord PQ at the cente
When a perpendicular is drawn from
When a perpendicular is drawn from the center of a circle to any chord, it bisects the chord (divides it into two equal parts). Conversely, the line f
Equal chords of a circle
Equal chords of a circle are equidistant from the center. The distance of a chord from center is the length of perpendicular from center to the chord.
The angle subtended by an arc
The angle subtended by an arc at the center is double the angle subtended by the same arc at any point on the remaining part of the circle. This is a
All angles subtended by the same
All angles subtended by the same arc (or chord) at different points in the same segment of a circle are equal. This follows from the central angle the
