Chapter 8 Quiz Review Sheet – Circles

Students Will Be Able To:

 Use proportional reasoning to determine the lengths of arcs of circles and the area of
sectors of circles (TB 8.07)
 Prove and use theorems about chords (TB 8.09)
 Prove and use the relationship between inscribed angles and their corresponding central
angles. (TB 8.10)
 Prove and use theorems about chords and inscribed angles. (TB 8.10)
 Prove and use properties of cyclic quadrilaterals (TB 8.11)
 Prove and use theorems about tangents. (TB 8.12)
 Prove and use theorems about secants (TB 8.12)

Theorems You Should Know (and be able to use):

1. If two central angles are congruent, then their intercepted arcs are congruent.
2. If two arcs are congruent, then they are intercepted by congruent central angles.
3. If two arcs are congruent, then their corresponding chords are congruent.
4. If two chords are congruent, then their corresponding arcs are congruent.
5. Congruent chords are equidistant from the center of the circle.
6. The measure of an inscribed angle is equal to half the measure of its intercepted arc.
7. If a line through the center of a circle is perpendicular to a chord, then it bisects the
chord.
8. If a line through the center of a circle bisects a chord, then it is perpendicular to the
chord.
9. If a line is the perpendicular bisector of a chord, then the line passes through the center of
the circle.
10. Inscribed angles are congruent if and only if they intercept the same arc or congruent
arcs.
11. Any triangle inscribed in a semicircle is a right triangle.
12. The opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary.
13. The measure of a secant angle inside a circle is equal to half the sum of the intercepted
arcs.
14. The measure of a secant angle inside a circle is equal to half the difference between the
intercepted arcs.
15. Tangent segments from a point outside the circle to the circle are congruent.
