Circle Relationships Mastery Test Cheat Sheet
- All circles are similar - Because circles only differ in size but not in shape, mastering this concept makes scaling and comparing circles a breeze. Why guess? Similarity unlocks quick proportional reasoning when you need to jazz up your solutions. thecorestandards.org thecorestandards.org
- Equation of a circle - The formula (x - h)² + (y - k)² = r² is your magic spell for plotting circles on the coordinate plane. By tweaking h, k, and r, you can shift and grow your circle with mathematical flair. mathnirvana.com mathnirvana.com
- Area and circumference - Never forget A = πr² and C = 2πr when you need to measure a pizza or the boundary of a circle. These power-packed formulas let you calculate space and length faster than you can say "cheese." geeksforgeeks.org geeksforgeeks.org
- Central vs. inscribed angles - A central angle is always twice an inscribed angle that spans the same arc - no ifs, ands, or buts! This golden rule helps you crack angle-chasing puzzles in circles. brilliant.org brilliant.org
- Thales's theorem - Any angle inscribed in a semicircle is a perfect right angle, thanks to Thales's wisdom. Use this to spot or prove right angles in complex circle diagrams like a pro. en.wikipedia.org en.wikipedia.org
- Perpendicular bisector of a chord - The line that cuts a chord in half at 90° always runs through the circle's center. This trick is gold when you're hunting for that elusive center point. brilliant.org brilliant.org
- Radius-tangent perpendicularity - The radius hitting the tangent line at the precise tangency point is always 90°, creating a neat right angle. This property is your go-to for tackling tangent proofs. thecorestandards.org thecorestandards.org
- Equal chords subtend equal angles - When two chords are the same length, they carve out equal central angles - no surprises here! This rule is great for crafting super-symmetric circle proofs. byjus.com byjus.com
- Cyclic quadrilateral angle sum - Opposite angles in a cyclic quadrilateral add up to 180°, making angle-hunting more systematic than random guesswork. It's a must-know for circle-based quadrilateral problems. brilliant.org brilliant.org
- Nine-point circle - This magical circle zips through nine key points of a triangle: midpoints of sides, feet of altitudes, and more. It's a high-level gem for advanced geometric constructions and olympiad problems. en.wikipedia.org en.wikipedia.org
