Circle Theorem 67
hint:
- Discuss circle properties such as Radius, Diameter, Circumference, Sector, Chords, Segment,
and Tangent properties. Then move on to angles in a circle.
Theorems of angles in a Circle.
3. Angle in a semi-circle:
- Angle in a semi-circle¿ 90 ° .
Example
In the diagram, A, B, C, D and E lie on the circumference of a circle.
DE is parallel to CB. Angle ACE = 48°, angle CED = 65° and angle CBE = 73°.
Calculate;
a) angleABE b) angleACB ,
c) angleBEC , d) angleCDE
1) DE ⃦ CB Given
EXPECTED ANSWERS:
¿ ACE=48 ° Given
¿ CED=65 ° Given
¿ CBE=73 ° Given
ACTIVITY 2
In the diagram below, ABC is a tangent to the circle BDEF at B, angle DFB= 40° ,
angle EBF=15°
and angle DBE= 45° .
ACTIVITY 3
In the diagram below, A,B,C and D lie on the circumference of the circle, center o.
BO is parallel to CD, angle BAD=62°∧BCE is a straight line .
Calculate:
(a) angle t,
(b) angle BCD,
(c) angle OBC,
(d) angle DCE.
EXPECTED ANSWERS:
(a) angle t= 2× angleBAD (angle at the centre = 2×angle on the
∴angle t= 2×62 ° circumference)
∴angle t=124° .
(b) angle BCD + angle BAD= 180° (opp. angles of a cyclic quad.)
∴angle BCD =180°−62 °
∴angle BCD = 118° .
