Circle Theorem

The document outlines several theorems related to chords in a circle, including properties of equal chords, angles subtended at the center, and the relationship between perpendiculars from the center to chords. It presents both theorems and their converses, establishing conditions for equality of chords based on angles and distances from the center. Additionally, it mentions the converse of the Mid-point Theorem in the context of circle geometry.

Circles

Theorem
1. Equal chords of a circle subtend equal angles at the center.

subtend ∠AOB = ∠COD at the centre O.


Given: A circle with centre O. AB and CD are equal chords of circle which

To Prove: ∠AOB = ∠DOC

2. (Converse of Theorem) If the angles subtended by the chords of a circle


at the centre are equal, then the chords are equal.
Given: A circle with center O.

chords at centre O of a circle are equal i.e. ∠AOB = ∠COD


Let AB and CD be two chords of a circle such that subtended by these

To Prove: AB = CD.

chord. Given: AB is a chord of a circle with centre at O and OM ⊥ AB.


3. The perpendicular from the centre of a circle to a chord bisects the

To Prove: OM bisect chord AB i.e. AM = BM.

4. (Converse of Theorem)The line drawn through the centre of a circle to


bisect a chord is perpendicular to the chord.
Given: AB is chord of a circle with centre at O. A line OM is drawn
through the centre of the circle O to chord AB such that M is the mid-

To Prove: OM ⊥ AB
point of AB, i.e. AM = BM

5. Equal chords of a circle (or of congruent circles) are equidistant from the
centre (or centres).
Given : A circle with center at O and two equal chords; AB and PQ.
To Prove : AB = PQ are equidistant from the centre O.

6. (Converse of Theorem) Chords equidistant from the centre of a circle are


equal in length.
Given : C is 𝑎 circle with center at 0. AB and CD are two Chords of the
circle where OX is distance of chord AB from center i.e. OX ⊥ AB & OY is
distance of chord AB from center i.e. OY ⊥ CD & OX = OY
To Prove : AB = CD
