Circle Theorems: Tangents, Alternate Segments, and Isosceles Triangles

The video tutorial covers key circle theorems, including the arrow shape, bow shape, quadrilateral, and semicircle. It explains tangent properties, the alternate segment theorem, and the importance of recognizing isosceles triangles in circle geometry. The tutorial emphasizes the need to justify answers using theorems and provides insights into solving related problems.

Which circle theorem states that the angle at the center is twice the angle at the circumference?

• The semicircle theorem

• The bow shape theorem

• The cyclic quadrilateral theorem

• The arrow shape theorem

What is the property of angles in a cyclic quadrilateral?

• Adjacent angles are equal

• Opposite angles add up to 180 degrees

• They add up to 360 degrees

• They are all equal

What angle is formed where a tangent meets a radius?

• 60 degrees

• 45 degrees

• 120 degrees

• 90 degrees

What is true about tangents drawn from a single point outside a circle?

• They intersect at the center

• They form a right angle

• They are equal in length

• They are parallel

In the alternate segment theorem, which angles are equal?

• Angles at the center and circumference

• Angles in the same segment

• Angles in a cyclic quadrilateral

• Angles on opposite sides of the chord

What is a key feature of an isosceles triangle formed by two radii and a chord?

• The triangle is equilateral

• The triangle is always right-angled

• The base angles are equal

• All angles are equal

Why is it important to recognize isosceles triangles in circle problems?

• They are not relevant

• They simplify calculations
