Circle Geometry
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

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
