    Equal arcs subtend equal angles at the centre

    A perpendicular line from the centre of a circle to a chord bisects the chord

    The exterior angle at a vertex of a cyclic quadrilateral is equal to the interior opposite angles

    If two arcs subtend angles at the centre of the circle, then the arcs are equal

    A line from the centre of a circle that bisects a chord is perpendicular to the chord

    The tangent to a circle is perpendicular to the radius drawn from the point of contact

    Equal chords subtend equal angles at the centre of the circle

    Equal chords are equidistant from the centre of the circle

    The line perpendicular to the radius at the point where it meets the circle is a tangent to the circle

    Equal angles subtended at the centre of the circle cut off equal chords

    Chords that are equidistant from the centre are equal

    The tangent to a circle from an exterior point are equal

    The angle at the centre is twice the angle at the circumference subtended by the same arc

    The product of intercepts of intercepting chords are equal

    When two circles touch, the line through their centres pass through their point of contact

    Angles, Arcs & Chords

    Chord

    Tangent

  • Angles in the same segment of a circle are equal

    The opposite angles in a cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary

    The angle between a tangent and a chord through the point of contact is equal to the angle in the alternate segment

    The angle in the semicircle is a right angle

    If the opposite angles of a quadrilateral are supplementary, then the quadrilateral is cyclic

    The square of the length of the tangent from an external point is equal to the product of the intercepts of the secant passing through this point
