What are the theorems of the circle?


Inscribed angle theorem

. Thales' theorem, if A, B and C are points on a circle where the line AC is a diameter of the circle, then the angle ∠ABC is a right angle. Alternate segment theorem. Ptolemy's theorem.

How many circles theorems are there?

Circles have different angle properties, described by theorems . There are

seven circle theorems

. An important word that is used in circle theorems is subtend .

What are the 8 parts of a circle?

In these lessons, we will learn the following parts of a circle:

diameter, chord, radius, arc and tangent

.

What are the 9 circle theorems?

  • Circle Theorem 1 – Angle at the Centre.
  • Circle Theorem 2 – Angles in a Semicircle.
  • Circle Theorem 3 – Angles in the Same Segment.
  • Circle Theorem 4 – Cyclic Quadrilateral.
  • Circle Theorem 5 – Radius to a Tangent.
  • Circle Theorem 6 – Tangents from a Point to a Circle.
  • Circle Theorem 7 – Tangents from a Point to a Circle II.

What is 9th Theorem?

Theorem 9: In

a parallelogram, opposite sides are equal and opposite angles are equal

. The PDST Maths Development Team has created an animated presentation for teachers to visually guide students through the steps involved in Theorem 9.

What are the 10 theorems?

  • Pythagoras Theorem.
  • Midpoint Theorem.
  • Remainder Theorem.
  • Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic.
  • Angle Bisector Theorem.
  • Inscribed Angle Theorem.
  • Ceva's Theorem.
  • Bayes' Theorem.

What is circle theorem 4?

The

opposite angles in a cyclic quadrilateral

add up to In plain terms: If you look at the cyclic quadrilateral (a four sided shape where the four vertices touch the circumference of a circle) below, each vertex is a point on the circumference of the circle.

Where are circle theorems used?

We can use this idea to find a circle's center:

draw a right angle from anywhere on the circle's circumference

, then draw the diameter where the two legs hit the circle. do that again but for a different diameter.

Why do we learn circle theorems?

It's so simple to understand, but it also gives us one of the most crucial constants in all of mathematics, p. Once we draw

some lines inside a circle

, we can deduce patterns and theorems that are useful both theoretically and in a practical sense.

Is a diameter a chord?


A chord that passes through the center of a circle

is called a diameter and is the longest chord of that specific circle.

Does a semi-circle have two right angles?


Yes

. The semi-circle can even be referred to sometimes as a ( Curvilinear) Diangle, sum of the two shown right angles is π.

What is the π?

Succinctly, pi—which is written as the Greek letter for p, or π—is

the ratio of the circumference of any circle to the diameter of that circle

. Regardless of the circle's size, this ratio will always equal pi. In decimal form, the value of pi is approximately 3.14.

How many parts are in the circle?

The degree measure of the circumference of the circle is always 360°. A circle divides the plane on which lies into

three parts

.

What are the names of a circle?

It has two points on the outside edge of the circle. Write the name of each circle, radius, and diameter.

A circle is named by the point in the center

. A radius is a line segment from the center of the circle to the edge.

What do you call the center of a circle?

The center of a circle is also called

the focus of the circle

.
