Study Notes
- Euclidean geometry focuses on the properties and relationships of geometric figures in a plane or space, based on a set of axioms and theorems.
- Circle geometry deals with the specific properties and theorems related to circles.
Terminology
- Arc: A portion of the circumference of a circle.
- Chord: A straight line that connects two points on a circle.
- Circumference: The perimeter or boundary of a circle.
- Radius (r): The distance from the center of the circle to any point on the circumference.
- Diameter: A chord that passes through the center of the circle, effectively twice the length of the radius.
- Segment: An area of the circle enclosed by a chord and the arc it cuts off.
- Tangent: A line that touches the circle at only one point.
Axioms
- Theorem of Pythagoras: Describes the relationship between the sides of a right-angled triangle.
- For a right-angled triangle, with sides of lengths a and b and hypotenuse of length c, the formula is:
- 𝑎² + 𝑏² = 𝑐²
- Tangent Perpendicular to Radius: States that at the point where a tangent touches a circle, it forms a right angle with the radius drawn to that point.
Theorems
- Perpendicular Line from Circle Center Bisects Chord: A line drawn from the center of a circle that is perpendicular to a chord divides the chord into two equal parts.
- Perpendicular Bisector of Chord Passes Through Circle Center: A line that cuts a chord into two equal parts at a 90-degree angle will always pass through the center of the circle.
- Angle at the Center is Twice the Angle at the Circumference: The angle formed at the center of a circle by an arc is twice the angle formed at the circumference by the same arc.
- Angles Subtended by Same Arc: Angles formed by a chord on the same side of the circle's circumference are equal.
- Opposite Angles of a Cyclic Quadrilateral are Supplementary: In a quadrilateral with all four vertices lying on the circumference of a circle, the angles opposite each other add up to 180 degrees.
- Exterior Angle of a Cyclic Quadrilateral: The angle formed by extending one side of a cyclic quadrilateral is equal to the angle opposite to the adjacent interior angle.
- Tangent-Chord Theorem: The angle between a tangent and a chord is equal to the angle in the alternate segment.
- Two Tangents from the Same Point: Tangents drawn from an external point to a circle are equal in length.
Important Theorems Summary
- A line from the center of a circle to the midpoint of a chord is perpendicular to the chord.
- A line from the center of a circle, drawn perpendicular to a chord, bisects the chord.
- The perpendicular bisector of a chord passes through the center of the circle.
- The angle at the center of a circle is twice the angle at the circumference subtended by the same arc.
- Angles subtended by the same arc on the same side are equal.
Corollaries
- Equal chords in a circle subtend equal angles at the center.
- Equal chords subtend equal angles on the circle within corresponding segments.
- Chords are equal if they subtend equal angles at the circumference or at the center of the circle.
- A diameter always subtends a right angle (90 degrees) at any point on the circle's circumference.
- In circles of equal radii, equal chords will subtend equal angles.
- If a line segment connects two points and subtends equal angles on the same side, then the endpoints of the segment and the points where the angles are subtended are concyclic (lie on the same circle).
