Similar Circles Theorem
All circles are similar
Tangent Line to Circle Theorem
In a plane, a line is tangent to a circle if and only if the line is
Perpendicular to a radius of the circle at its endpoint on the circle.
External Tangent Congruence Theorem
Tangent segments from a common external point
are congruent
Arc Addition Postulate
The measure of an arc are formed by two adjacent arcs is the sum
of the measures of the two arcs.
Theorem: Congruent Circles Theorem
Two circles are congruent circles if and only if they have the
same radius.
Congruent Central Angles Theorem
In the same circle, or in congruent circles, two minor arcs are
Congruent if and only if their corresponding central angles are
Congruent.
Theorem: Congruent Corresponding Chords Theorem
In the same circle, or in congruent circles, two minor arcs are
congruent if and only if their corresponding chords are congruent.
Theorem:Perpendicular Chord Bisector Theorem
If a diameter of a circle is perpendicular to a chord, then the
diameter bisects the chord and its arc.
Perpendicular Chord Bisector Converse Theorem
IF one chord of a circle is a perpendicular bisector of another chord,
then the first chord is a diameter.
Equidistant Chords Theorem
In the same circle, or in congruent circles, two chords are congruent
if and only if they are equidistant from the center.
Circle -
the set of all points in a plane that are equidistant
from a given point called the center of a circle.
Radius -
a segment whose endpoints are the center and any point on a circle
● Chord
● Diameter
Secant -
is a line that intersects a circle in two points.
● Tangent -
is a line in the plane of a circle that intersects the circle in exactly
one point, the point of tangency
Tangent circles -
coplanar circles that intersects in one point
●
Concentric circles -
coplanar circles that have a common center
●
● Common tangent -
a line or segment that is tangent to two coplanar circles
