Circle Theorems and Angle Calculations: A Comprehensive Guide
This guide... Show more
This section focuses on another important circle theorem: angles in the same segment are equal. This principle is essential for solving various geometry problems involving circles.
Highlight: Angles in the same segment of a circle are always equal, regardless of where the point is placed on the arc.
The page presents two examples to illustrate this concept:
Vocabulary: Segment - A portion of a circle's area bounded by a chord and an arc.
Understanding this theorem is crucial for tackling more complex circle theorems questions and problems involving cyclic quadrilaterals.
This page delves into the properties of cyclic quadrilaterals, which are four-sided shapes inscribed within a circle. It introduces a key theorem about opposite angles in cyclic quadrilaterals.
Definition: A cyclic quadrilateral is a four-sided shape where all four vertices touch the circumference of a circle.
The main property highlighted is that opposite angles in a cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary, meaning they add up to 180°. This principle is fundamental in solving many cyclic quadrilateral problems.
Highlight: In a cyclic quadrilateral, opposite angles are supplementary .
The page provides two detailed examples demonstrating how to apply this property to calculate unknown angles in cyclic quadrilaterals. These examples are excellent practice for students preparing for GCSE-level circle theorems and angles calculations.
This section focuses on a specific case of angles in a circle: the angle in a semicircle. It introduces the important theorem that an angle inscribed in a semicircle is always a right angle .
Definition: A semicircle is half of a circle, formed by a diameter and the arc it subtends.
The page provides a clear example demonstrating how to use this theorem in conjunction with other angle properties to solve more complex problems. This example involves calculating an unknown angle using the semicircle theorem and properties of triangles.
Highlight: The angle inscribed in a semicircle is always 90° .
This theorem is particularly useful in identifying right angles in geometric figures and is often featured in circle theorems questions and answers.
This page introduces two important properties of tangents to circles:
Vocabulary: Tangent - A line that touches a circle at exactly one point.
The page provides an example problem that combines both of these properties, requiring students to calculate angles involving tangents and radii. This type of question is common in circle theorems and angles calculations GCSE exams.
Example: In a problem where two tangents are drawn from an external point, the angles between the tangents and the line joining the center to the external point are equal.
Understanding these tangent properties is crucial for solving more advanced circle theorem questions and problems involving complex geometric constructions.
This page focuses on the relationship between a perpendicular line from the center of a circle to a chord. It introduces the theorem that this perpendicular line bisects the chord.
Definition: A chord is a line segment whose endpoints both lie on a circle.
The page provides a detailed example problem that applies this theorem along with the Pythagorean theorem to calculate the distance from the center of a circle to the midpoint of a chord.
Highlight: The perpendicular from the center of a circle to a chord always bisects the chord.
This theorem is particularly useful in problems involving chord lengths and their relationship to the circle's radius, which are common in circle theorems and angles calculations worksheets.
The final page introduces the alternate segment theorem, which relates the angle between a tangent and a chord at the point of contact to the angle in the alternate segment.
Definition: The alternate segment is the segment on the opposite side of a chord from a given point on the circle.
The theorem states that the angle between a tangent and a chord at the point of contact is equal to the angle in the alternate segment.
Highlight: The angle between a tangent and a chord equals the angle in the alternate segment.
The page provides a complex example that combines this theorem with other circle properties to calculate multiple angles. This type of question often appears in advanced circle theorems questions and answers PDF resources.
Understanding this theorem is crucial for solving more challenging geometry problems and is often tested in higher-level mathematics exams.
This page introduces the fundamental relationship between angles at the center and circumference of a circle. It explains how angles at the center are twice the size of corresponding angles at the circumference when subtended by the same arc.
Definition: The angle at the center of a circle is twice the angle at the circumference when both angles are subtended by the same arc.
The page provides two detailed examples demonstrating how to apply this theorem to calculate missing angles. In both cases, students are shown how to use the 2:1 ratio between center and circumference angles to solve problems.
Example: Given an angle of 40° at the circumference, the corresponding angle at the center would be 80° .
This theorem forms the foundation for many circle theorems and angles calculations, making it crucial for students to master early in their geometry studies.

The app is very easy to use and well designed. I have found everything I was looking for so far and have been able to learn a lot from the presentations! I will definitely use the app for a class assignment! And of course it also helps a lot as an inspiration.

Wow, I am really amazed. I just tried the app because I've seen it advertised many times and was absolutely stunned. This app is THE HELP you want for school and above all, it offers so many things, such as workouts and fact sheets, which have been VERY helpful to me personally.

Just amazing. Let's me revise 10x better, this app is a quick 10/10. I highly recommend it to anyone. I can watch and search for notes. I can save them in the subject folder. I can revise it any time when I come back. If you haven't tried this app, you're really missing out.

This app has made me feel so much more confident in my exam prep, not only through boosting my own self confidence through the features that allow you to connect with others and feel less alone, but also through the way the app itself is centred around making you feel better. It is easy to navigate, fun to use, and helpful to anyone struggling in absolutely any way.

I know a lot of apps use fake accounts to boost their reviews but this app deserves it all. Originally I was getting 4 in my English exams and this time I got a grade 7. I didn’t even know about this app three days until the exam and it has helped A LOT. Please actually trust me and use it as I’m sure you too will see developments.
