Page 1: Introduction to Circles
A circle is the set of all points in a plane equidistant from a fixed point (centre).
Radius: Distance from centre to any point on circle.
This chapter covers chords, arcs, angles subtended by arcs, cyclic quadrilaterals, and important theorems.
Page 2: Basic Terms
- Chord: Line segment joining two points on circle.
- Diameter: Chord passing through centre (longest chord).
- Arc: Portion of circle (minor/major).
- Sector: Region bounded by two radii and arc.
- Segment: Region bounded by chord and arc.
Page 3: Theorem 10.1
Converse also true.
Page 4: Theorem 10.2
Converse true.
Longer chord closer to centre.
Page 5: Theorem 10.3 and 10.4
10.4: Chords equidistant from centre are equal.
Page 6: Theorem 10.5
Page 7: Theorem 10.6
Angle in same segment equal.
Page 8: Theorem 10.7 and 10.8
10.8: Angle in a semicircle is a right angle (90°).
Page 9: Theorem 10.9
Page 10: Cyclic Quadrilateral
Converse true.
Page 11: Key Theorems Summary
