The circle to the right with
centre O, has a diameter of
20cm, and the perimeter of the
triangle OAB is 36cm. Calculate
the area of the triangle.

• Today we are going to be looking at angles
within circles

• We will learn about the angles in a semi-


circle

• Example Question 2

Line XY is the diameter of a Circle.


What is the sum of angles a and b?
Explain your answer. Y

The sum is 90°. b

The unmarked angle is 90°, as it is an


angle in a semi-circle.
Angles in a triangle add up to 180°, so a

if c is 90° then a + b must be 90° as 90°

Circle Theorems (1)
• “The angle in a semi-circle is always 90°”
PROOF
The circle has a triangle drawn inside it, where
the circle has been split into 2.
Imagine we drew a line from the point of the
y triangle to the centre, in effect, the radius.
x
The smaller triangle created is Isosceles because
2y 2x y 2 sides are the radius
x 180 – 2x
If we label the equal angles ‘x’…
Then the other angle is effectively ‘180 - 2x’
To work out the other angle on the straight line,
you would do: 180 - (180 – 2x)
180 – 180 + 2x
 2x
Apply the same logic to the other triangle, using
2x + 2y = 180 (straight line rule) y instead, gives the other central angle as ‘2y’
x + y = 90
