plane. Let N be the diameter of K which is conjugate to the line M and let M =

M∩N. If M is the midpoint of two points E = M∩AB and F =M∩CD, then M is the

midpoint of the points G =M∩AC and H =M∩BD and the midpoint of the points K

=M∩AD and L =M∩BC.

3. (Bodenmiller) Given a general quadrilateral in the Euclidean plane, then its three

diagonal segments have Thales-circles belonging to a pencil of circles.

4. (Non-EuclideanBodenmiller) Given a quadrilateral Q, then the Thales-conics over

the 3 diagonal segments belong to a pencil of conics.

5. (non-Euclidean version of Bodenmiller property(2))Given a general quadrilateral

Q in a hyperbolic or elliptic plane π, then (in algebraic sense) the four

Bodenmiller-points Bi, the four absolute poles of the sides ofQ, and the

fourorthocentresOi ofthepartialtrianglesof Q are points of a single conic b, the

“Bodenmiller-conic” of Q,

6. The centres of the pencils of lines defining a point conic are points of the point

conic.

subtended by the same arc.

10. Angles in the same segment of a circle are equal

11. The angle subtended by a diameter at the circumference is equal to a right angle

(90◦).

12. The opposite angles of a quadrilateral inscribed in a circle sum to two right

angles (180◦). (The opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary).

The converse of this result also holds.

13. Chord Central Angles Theorem

If two chords in a circle are congruent, then they determine two central angles

that are congruent.

14. Chord Arcs Theorem

If two chords in a circle are congruent, then their intercepted arcs are congruent.

15. Perpendicular to a Chord Theorem

The perpendicular from the centre of a circle to a chord is the bisector of the

chord.

16. Chord Distance to Centre Theorem

Two congruent chords in a circle are equidistant from the centre of the circle.

The perpendicular bisector of a chord passes through the centre of the circle.

vertical angle.

The measure of an angle formed by a tangent and a chord drawn to the point of

tangency is one-half the measure of the intercepted arc.

The measure of an angle formed when two secants intersect at a point outside

the circle is one-half the difference of the measures of the two intercepted arcs.

27. Tangent-Secant Angle Theorem


If an angle is formed by a secant and a tangent that intersects in the exterior of a

circle, then the measure of the angle is one-half the difference of the measures of

its intercepted arcs.

28. Tangent-Tangent Angle Theorem

If an angle is formed by two intersecting tangents, then the measure of the angle

is one half the difference of the measures of the intercepted arcs (the major arc

minus the minor arc)

CIRCLE GEOMETRY THEOREMS 1. When two


circles intersect, the line joining their centres bisects
their common chord at right angles. 2. Equal arcs on
circles of equal radii subtend equal angles at the
centre, and conversely. 3. Equal angles at the centre
stand on equal chords, and conversely. 4. The angle
at the centre is twice the angle at the circumference
subtended by the same arc. 5. The tangent to a circle
is perpendicular to the radius drawn to the point of
contact and conversely. 6. The perpendicular from the
centre of a circle to a chord bisects the chord. 7. The
line from the centre of a circle to the midpoint of a
chord is perpendicular to the chord. 8. The
perpendicular bisector of a chord passes through the
centre of the circle. 9. Equal chords in equal circles
are equidistant from the centres. 10. Chords in a
circle which are equidistant from the centre are equal.
11. Any three non- collinear points lie on a unique
circle, whose centre is the point of concurrency of the
perpendicular bisectors of the intervals joining the
points. 12. Angles in the same segment are equal. 13.
The angle in a semi- circle is a right angle. 14.
Opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral are
supplementary. 15. The exterior angle at a vertex of a
cyclic quadrilateral is equal to the interior opposite
angle. 16. If the opposite angles in a quadrilateral are
supplementary then the quadrilateral is cyclic. Note:
This theorem is also a test for four points to be
concyclic. 17. The products of the intercepts of two
intersecting chords are equal. 18. The products of the
intercepts of two intersecting secants to a circle from
an external point. 19. Tangents to a circle from an
external point are equal. 20. The angle between a
tangent and a chord through the point of contact is
equal to the angle in the alternate segment. 21. The
square of the length of the tangent from an external
point is equal to the product of the intercepts of the
secant passing through this point.
SUPPLEMENTARY THEOREMS 1. Two circles touch
if they have a common tangent at the point of contact.
2. If an interval subtends equal angles at two points
on the same side of it then the endpoints of the
interval and the four points are concyclic.
