  1. What is the measure of an angle inscribed in a semicircle?

    Show answer

    90°. This is one of the fundamental circle theorems.

  2. What is the relationship between an angle at the centre and an angle at the circumference subtending the same arc?

    Show answer

    The angle at the centre is twice the angle at the circumference.

  3. What is true about angles in the same segment of a circle?

    Show answer

    Angles in the same segment are equal.

  4. What do opposite angles in a cyclic quadrilateral sum to?

    Show answer

    180°. Opposite angles in a cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary.

  5. What is the angle between a tangent and the radius at the point of contact?

    Show answer

    90°. The radius is perpendicular to the tangent at the point of contact.

  6. What does the alternate segment theorem state about the angle between a tangent and a chord?

    Show answer

    The angle between the tangent and the chord at the point of contact equals the angle in the alternate segment.
