Circle Theorems and Triangle Angles

This video tutorial covers circle theorems, focusing on tangents, isosceles triangles, and right angle triangles in circles. It includes a four-step guide to solving related problems and provides example problems with solutions. The tutorial is designed for students in the National Five and GCSE curriculum, emphasizing key geometric principles and problem-solving techniques.

What is the main focus of this week's video?

• Trigonometric identities

• Circle theorems and angles

• Linear functions

• Algebraic equations

What is a tangent in relation to a circle?

• A line that touches the circle at exactly one point

• A line that does not touch the circle

• A line that intersects a circle twice

• A line that passes through the center of the circle

What forms an isosceles triangle in a circle?

• Two radii

• Two tangents

• A chord and a tangent

• A diameter and a tangent

What is a key property of a right angle triangle in a circle?

• One side is a tangent

• One side is a radius

• One side is a diameter

• All sides are equal

What do angles in a triangle add up to?

• 90 degrees

• 270 degrees

• 180 degrees

• 360 degrees

What is the first step in the four-step guide?

• Calculate the diameter

• Identify a tangent

• Find the center of the circle

• Pick out a triangle in the diagram

In the first example problem, what is the missing angle if the other two are 90 and 26 degrees?

• 64 degrees

• 80 degrees

• 70 degrees

• 54 degrees

In the second example, what is the angle opposite the tangent if the other angle is 36 degrees?

• 72 degrees

• 126 degrees

• 90 degrees

• 54 degrees

In the final example, what is the angle if two sides of the triangle are radii and one angle is 56 degrees?

• 68 degrees

• 34 degrees

• 112 degrees

• 90 degrees
