Lesson (2): relation between inscribed and central angles:

Given: In the circle 𝑀 : ∠𝐴𝐶𝐵 is an inscribed angle, ∠𝐴𝑀𝐵 is a central angle

R.T.P: 𝑚(∠𝐴𝐶𝐵) =1

2𝑚(∠𝐴𝑀𝐵)

Proof: The first case: If 𝑴 belongs to one of the sides of the inscribed angle 𝑨𝑪𝑩:

∵ ∠𝐴𝐶𝐵 is an exterior angle of ∆𝐴𝑀𝐶 ∴ 𝑚(∠𝐴𝑀𝐵) = 𝑚(∠𝐴) + 𝑚(∠𝐶) (1) , ∵ 𝑀𝐴 = 𝑀𝐶 (two radii lengths) ∴ 𝑚(∠𝐴) = 𝑚(∠𝐶) (2) From (1) and (2) we get:

𝑚(∠𝐴𝐶𝐵) =1


Const.:

The second case: If 𝑴 lies inside the inscribed angle 𝑨𝑪𝑩:

Draw 𝐶𝑀⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗ to cut the circle at 𝐷

From the first case: ∴ 𝑚(∠𝐴𝐶𝐷) =1

2𝑚(∠𝐴𝑀𝐷) ,

𝑚(∠𝐵𝐶𝐷) =1

2𝑚(∠𝐵𝑀𝐷)

By adding:

∴ 𝑚(∠𝐴𝐶𝐷) + 𝑚(∠𝐵𝐶𝐷) =1

2𝑚(∠𝐴𝑀𝐷) +

1


∴ 𝑚(∠𝐴𝐶𝐵) =1


Const.:

The third case: If 𝑴 lies outside the inscribed angle 𝑨𝑪𝑩:

Draw 𝐶𝑀⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗ to cut the circle at 𝐷

From the first case: ∴ 𝑚(∠𝐴𝐶𝐷) =1

2𝑚(∠𝐴𝑀𝐷)

𝑚(∠𝐵𝐶𝐷) =1


Subtracting:

∴ 𝑚(∠𝐴𝐶𝐷) − 𝑚(∠𝐵𝐶𝐷) =1

2𝑚(∠𝐴𝑀𝐷) −

1


∴ 𝑚(∠𝐴𝐶𝐵) =1

2[𝑚(𝐵𝐶 ) + 𝑚(𝐴𝐷 )]

Construction: Draw 𝐵𝐶̅̅ ̅̅ and 𝐴𝐷̅̅ ̅̅

2[𝑚(𝐵𝐶 ) + 𝑚(𝐴𝐷 )]

Corollary (1):

• The measure of an inscribed angle is half the measure of the subtended arc.

Corollary (2):

The inscribed angle in a

semicircle is a right angle.

• The measure of the arc equals twice the measure of the inscribed angle, subtended by this arc.

• The inscribed angle which is right angle is drawn in a semicircle.

• The inscribed angle which is subtended by an arc of measure less than the measure of a semicirlce is an acute angle.

• The inscribed angle which is subtended by an arc of measure greater than the measure of a semicirlce is an obtuse angle

Remarks

• If two chords intersect at a point inside a circle, then the measure of the included angle equals half of the sum of the two measures of the opposite arcs.

Lesson (4): The cyclic quadrilateral and its properties:

Given: 𝐴𝐵𝐶𝐷 is a cyclic quadrilateral

R.T.P: 1) 𝑚(∠𝐴) + 𝑚(∠𝐶) = 180°

2) 𝑚(∠𝐵) + 𝑚(∠𝐷) = 180°

Proof: ∵ 𝑚(∠𝐴) =1

2𝑚(𝐵𝐶𝐷) and 𝑚(∠𝐶) =

1

2𝑚(𝐵𝐴𝐷)

∴ 𝑚(∠𝐴) + 𝑚(∠𝐶) =1

2[𝑚(𝐵𝐶𝐷) + 𝑚(𝐵𝐴𝐷)]

=1

2 the measure of the circle =

1

2× 360° = 180°

Similarly: 𝑚(∠𝐵) + 𝑚(∠𝐷) = 180°

A summary of the properties in of the cyclic quadrilateral:

Each two angles drawn on one of its sides as a base and on one side of this side are

equal in measure.

𝑚 ∠1 = 𝑚(∠2)

𝑚 ∠3 = 𝑚(∠4)

𝑚 ∠5 = 𝑚(∠6)

𝑚 ∠7 = 𝑚(∠8)

Each two opposite angles are supplementary " their

sum = 180° "

𝑚 ∠𝐴 + 𝑚 ∠𝐶 = 180°

𝑚 ∠𝐵 + 𝑚 ∠𝐷 = 180°

The measure exterior angle at a vertex of a C.Q. is equal

to the measure of the interior angle at the opposte

vertex.

𝑚 ∠𝐴𝐷𝐸 = 𝑚 ∠𝐵

Lesson (5): The relation between the tangents of the circle:

Given: 𝐴 is a point outside the circle 𝑀 , 𝐴𝐵̅̅ ̅̅ and 𝐴𝐶̅̅ ̅̅ are two

tangent-segments to the circle at 𝐵 and 𝐶 respectively

R.T.P: 𝐴𝐵 = 𝐴𝐶

Const.: Draw 𝑀𝐵̅̅ ̅̅̅ , 𝑀𝐶̅̅̅̅̅ , 𝑀𝐴̅̅̅̅̅

Proof: ∵ 𝐴𝐵⃡⃗⃗⃗ ⃗ is a tangent to the circle 𝑀

∴ 𝑚(∠𝐴𝐵𝑀) = 90°

∵ 𝐴𝐶⃡⃗⃗⃗ ⃗ is a tangent to the circle 𝑀

∴ 𝑚(∠𝐴𝐶𝑀) = 90°

In ∆∆ 𝐴𝐵𝑀 , 𝐴𝐶𝑀:

{

𝑀𝐵 = 𝑀𝐶 (𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑙𝑒𝑛𝑔𝑡ℎ 𝑜𝑓 𝑡𝑤𝑜 𝑟𝑎𝑑𝑖𝑖)

𝐴𝑀̅̅̅̅̅ 𝑖𝑠 𝑎 𝑐𝑜𝑚𝑚𝑜𝑛 𝑠𝑖𝑑𝑒 𝑚(∠𝐴𝐵𝑀) = 𝑚(∠𝐴𝐶𝑀) = 90° (𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑣𝑒𝑑)

∴ ∆𝐴𝐵𝑀 ≡ ∆𝐴𝐶𝑀 ,

And we deduce that: 𝐴𝐵 = 𝐴𝐶

First: The two tangents drawn at the two ends of a diameter in a circle are parallel.

Second: The two tangents drawn at the two ends of a chord of a circle are intersecting.

•The two tangent-segments drawn to a circle from a point outside it are equal in length.

Theorem (4)

1) 𝐴𝐵 = 𝐴𝐶 (tangent segments)

2) 𝑀𝐵 = 𝑀𝐶 = 𝑟

3) 𝐵𝐸 = 𝐶𝐸 , 𝐴𝑀⃡⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗ ⊥ 𝐵𝐶̅̅ ̅̅

4) 𝑚(∠𝐴𝐵𝑀) = 𝑚(∠𝐴𝐶𝑀) = 90°

i.e. The figure 𝐴𝐵𝑀𝐶 is a cyclic quadrilateral.

5) 𝑚(∠𝐵𝐴𝑀) = 𝑚(∠𝐵𝐶𝑀) = 𝑚(∠𝐶𝐴𝑀) = 𝑚(∠𝐶𝐵𝑀)

6) 𝑚(∠𝐴𝑀𝐵) = 𝑚(∠𝐴𝐶𝐵) = 𝑚(∠𝐴𝑀𝐶) = 𝑚(∠𝐴𝐵𝐶)

Common tangents of two distant circles:

In the opposite figures: 𝑨𝑩 = 𝑪𝑫

Corollary (1):

•The straight line passing through the center of the circle and the intersection point of the two tangents is an axis of symmetry to the chord of tangency of those two tangents.

Corollary (2):

•The straight line passing through the center of the circle and the intersection point of the two tangents bisects the angle between these two tangents. It also bisects the angle between the two radii passing through the two points of tangency.

• 𝑚 ∠1 = 𝑚 ∠2

• 𝑚 ∠3 = 𝑚 ∠4

•The inscribed circle of a polygon is the circle which touches all of its sides internally.
