The col

Theorem : Equal chords of a circle subtends equal angles at centre.

If AB = CD then
AOB = COD

Converse : If angles subtended by chord at centre are equal,

then chords are equal.

Theorem : The perpendicular from centre to a chord of a circle, bisects the

chord.
If OM AB then
AB = BM
Converse : The line joining the mid-point of the chord
to the centre of a circle is pendicular to the
chord.

Property : If two chords of a circle are equal then corresponding arcs are equal.

Converse : If arcs of a circle are equal then corresponding

chords are also equal.

Theorem : Equal chords of a circle are equidistant from centre.

If PQ = RS
then OM = ON

Converse : Chords equidistant from centre are equal in length.

Property : Congruent arcs or equal arcs of a circle subtend equal angle at
the centre.
AOB = COD

Theorem : The angle subtended by an arc at the centre of circle

is twice the angle which is subtended at remaining
part of the circle.
AOB = 2 APB

• Any two angles in the same segment of the circle are equal.
APB = AQB

• Angle in a semicircle is a right angle.

APB = 90º

Theorem : In a cyclic quadrilateral, the sum of opposite angles is 180°.

A+ C = 180°
B+ D = 180°

Converse : If sum of the opposite angles of a quadrilateral is

180° then the quadrilateral is cyclic.
