CIRCLE THEOREM

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.

1. Angle at the centre theorem:


- Angle subtended by an arc at the centre is twice the angle subtended at the circumference.

2. Angle in the same segment:


- Angles subtended by the same segment of a circle are equal.

3. Angle in a semi-circle:
- Angle in a semi-circle¿ 90 ° .

4. Angles associated with a cyclic-quadrilateral:

- The opposite angles of a cyclic-quadrilateralare supplementary.


- The exterior angle of a cyclic-quadrilateral is equal to the opposite interior angle.
5. Alternate Segment theorem:
- The angle between a chord and a tangent at the point of contact is equal to any angle in
the Alternate Segment.

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

(a) ¿ ABE=¿ ACE =48 ° (angles in the same segment)


∴<ABE=48°

(b) ¿ ACB=¿ BCE−¿ ACE


Hint : But < BCE=¿ DCE=65 °
(alternate angles are equal)
∴< ACB=65 °−48°
∴< ACB=17 °

(c) ¿ BEC +¿ BCE +¿ CBE=108 ° ( ∑ of angles∈ a triangle)


∴< BEC=180 °−(¿ BCE+¿ CBE )
¿ 180 °−¿
¿ 180 °−138 °
∴< BEC=42°

(d)¿ CDE+ ¿CBE=180° (opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral)


∴<CDE=180 °−¿ )
¿ CDE=180 °−73 °
∴<CDE=107 °

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° .

Find (a) angle DEB,


(b) angle DEF,
(c) angle ABF.
EXPECTED ANSWERS:
(a) angle DEB= angle DFB= 40° (angles in the same segment)
(b) angle DEF+angle DBF=180°
∴ angle≝+ 60°=¿180° (opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral)
∴ angle≝¿180°−60 °
∴ angle≝¿120 °

(c) angle ABF= angle BDF (alternate segment theory)


=180°−(45 ° +15 °+40 ° )
∴ angle ABF =80 ° .

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° .

(c ) angle OBC= 180°−118 ° (angles associated with parallel lines)


∴angle OBC= 62 °
(d) angle DCE=angleBAD=62 ° (exterior angle of cyclic quad=
opposite interior angle)
