🦉 Properties Of Circles
1. tan. ⊥ rad.
2. rt. ∠ in semicircle
3. ∠s in same seg.
4. ∠ at centre = 2 ∠ at circ.
5. ∠s in opp. seg. (a+c=b+d=180°)
6. tan. from ext. pt.
🦉 Congruent & Similar Triangles
$$\begin{array}{|c|c|} \hline \text{Congruent triangles} & \text{Similar triangles}\\\hline \text{SSS, SAS, AAS, RHS} & \text{SSS, SAS, AAA}\\\hline \end{array}$$
🦉 Midpoint Theorem
If $D$ and $E$ are the midpoints of $AB$ and $AC$ respectively, then $DE$ // $BC$ and $DE = \frac{1}{2}BC$.
🦉 Tangent-Chord Theorem (Alternate Segment Theorem)
If $DE$ is a tangent to the circle at $B$, then $\angle CAB = \angle CBE$ and $\angle ACB = \angle ABD$.
