
Revise properties of isosceles triangles, vertically opposite,
corresponding and alternate angles
Understand the terminology used – angle subtended by an arc or
chord
Use an investigative approach to find angles in a circle, to include:
• Angle in a semicircle
• Angle at centre and circumference
• Angles in the same segment
• Cyclic quadrilaterals
• Angle between tangent and radius and tangent kite
• Be able to prove and use the alternate segment theorem

Circle Theorem 3
Opposite angles in a cyclic quadrilateral add up to 180°
Angle D + Angle B = 180°
Angle A + Angle C = 180°
A cyclic quadrilateral is a quadrilateral whose vertices all touch the
circumference of a circle. The opposite angles add up to 180°

Circle Theorem 4
The angle between the tangent and the radius is 90°
The angle between a radius (or diameter) and a tangent is 90
This circle theorem gives rise to one ‘Tangent Kite’

When 2 tangents are drawn from the point x a kite results. The
tangents are of equal length
BX = AX
Given OA = OB (radius)
OX is common the, the 2 triangles OAX and OBX are congruent.

Circle Theorems
Alternate Segment Theorem
Look out for a triangle with one of its vertices resting on the
point of contact of the tangent
Alternate segment

tangent
The angle between a tangent and a chord is equal to the angle subtended
by the chord in the alternate segment
