Overview

Circles are one of the most important geometric shapes in mathematics. This chapter explores the relationship between chords, angles, and arcs in circles. We learn about angles subtended by chords at different points, properties of perpendiculars from center to chords, equal chords and their distanc

Key Concepts

When a chord PQ is drawn

When a chord PQ is drawn in a circle, it creates angles at different points. The angle POQ at center O is called angle subtended by chord at center. A

When a perpendicular is drawn from

When a perpendicular is drawn from center of circle to any chord, it bisects that chord (divides it into two equal parts). Conversely, if a line from

Distance of a chord from center

Distance of a chord from center is the length of perpendicular from center to the chord. Equal chords of a circle are equidistant from center (same di

An arc subtends an angle at

An arc subtends an angle at center equal to the angle subtended by corresponding chord. The key theorem states: angle subtended by arc at center is do

All angles subtended by same arc

All angles subtended by same arc at different points on same side of chord are equal. This means if points A and C are on same side of chord PQ, then
