Angles at the centre
Angle at the centre is twice the angle at the circumference

Angles in the same segment
Angles in the same segment are equal.
Angles *a = a*
Angles *a = a*

Tangents
There are two circle theorems involving **tangents**.
1\. The angle between a tangent and a **radius** is 90°.
2\. Tangents which meet at the same point are equal in length.

Chords
The perpendicular from the centre of a circle to a **chord** **bisects** the chord.

New cards
The alternate segment theorem
The angle between a **tangent** and a **chord** is equal to the angle in the alternate segment.
