What is the central angle of a circle?
Click to flip
The central angle is an angle whose vertex is the center of the circle and whose sides are radii.
Click to flip
What does the Inscribed Angle Theorem state?
Click to flip
The Inscribed Angle Theorem states that an inscribed angle is half the measure of the central angle that subtends the same arc.
Click to flip
What is the relationship between the radius and a tangent at the point of tangency?
Click to flip
The radius is perpendicular to the tangent at the point of tangency.

What does the Alternate Segment Theorem describe?
Click to flip
The Alternate Segment Theorem states that the angle between a chord and a tangent is equal to the angle in the alternate segment.
Click to flip
What are congruent chords?
Click to flip
Congruent chords in a circle are chords that are equal in length.
Click to flip
What does the Perpendicular Bisector Theorem state in relation to chords?
Click to flip
It states that the perpendicular bisector of a chord passes through the center of the circle.
Click to flip
What is a cyclic quadrilateral?
Click to flip
A cyclic quadrilateral is a four-sided figure where all vertices lie on the circumference of a circle.
Click to flip
What is the property of the opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral?
Click to flip
The opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral add up to 180 degrees.
Click to flip
What is the Arc Addition Postulate?
Click to flip
The Arc Addition Postulate states that the measure of an arc formed by two adjacent arcs is the sum of the measures of the two arcs.
Click to flip
What is the Angle at the Center Theorem?
Click to flip
The Angle at the Center Theorem states that the angle subtended at the center is twice that subtended at any point on the circle.
Click to flip
What is the significance of equal arcs in a circle?
Click to flip
Equal arcs in a circle subtend equal angles at the center and equal inscribed angles at the circumference.
Click to flip
What is the Tangent-Secant Theorem?
Click to flip
The Tangent-Secant Theorem states that if a tangent and a secant are drawn from an external point, the square of the tangent is equal to the product of the entire secant segment and its external part.
Click to flip
What is a semicircle and how is it related to angles?
Click to flip
A semicircle is half a circle formed by a diameter. An angle inscribed in a semicircle is a right angle.
Click to flip
What does the Chord Segment Theorem state?
Click to flip
The Chord Segment Theorem states that when two chords intersect, the products of the lengths of their segments are equal.
Click to flip
What does the Tangent-Tangent Theorem state?
Click to flip
The Tangent-Tangent Theorem states that two tangent segments drawn from an external point to a circle are equal in length.
