Circle Geometry Theorems

Theorem 1: The angle that an arc forms at the centre of a circle is twice the size of an angle formed at the circumference.

Theorem 2: The angle formed on the circumference from a diameter of a circle is always a right angle.

Theorem 3: All angles at the circumference standing on the same arc, in the same segment, are equal.

Theorem 4: The opposite angles in a cyclicquadrilateral add to 180 degrees.A cyclic quadrilateral is a quadrilateral in  which all four vertices are on the same circumferenceof the one circle.

Theorem 5: Any tangent drawn on a circle meets the radius of the circle at right angles.

Arc lengthThe length of the arc of a circle is a fraction of the circle's circumference.

C = 2 π rNow  is a fraction of the circle. So, 

(the arc length) is a fraction of the circumference

So      =
