The Angle x subtended at the centre of a circle by an arc is twice

the size of the angle on the circumference subtended by the same
arc.

Points which lie on the circumference of the

same circle are called cyclic (or concyclic)
points. A cyclic quadrilateral is a quadrilateral
with all its four corners (vertices) on the
circumference of the same circle.

The Shaded Segment BED is called the alternate segment to the angle CBD
The angle between a tangent to a circle and a chord drawn through the point
of contact is equal to any angle subtended by the chord at the circumference in
the alternate segment
