Circle theorems

1. A, B, C and D are points on the circumference of a circle. AC is a diameter of the

circle. Angle BAC = 65°

(a) Write down the value of x [2]

(b) Calculate the value of y [2]

2. A, B and C are points on the circumference of a circle with center O. BD and CD are
tangents. Angle BDC = 40°

(i) Work out the value of p [2]

(ii) Hence write down the value of q [2]
3. (i) Write down the value of x. [2]
(ii) Calculate the value of y. [2]
4. Below is a circle with center O. A, B, and C, are points on the circumference. A
tangent to the circle passes through point A. Given that angle BAC is 23° and angle
ACB is 71°, find the size of angle x°.
5. Points A, B and C are all on the circumference of the circle. O represents the centre.
Angle AOB = 2x + 28, Angle ADB = 3x – 70. Calculate the value of x. [4]
