What is the relationship between an inscribed angle and a central angle that subtend the same arc?
The inscribed angle is half the central angle.
All inscribed angles that subtend the same arc have what relationship?
They are equal.
An inscribed angle that subtends a semicircle measures how many degrees?
90 degrees.
What is the relationship between a tangent line and the radius at the point of tangency?
They are perpendicular to each other.
Two tangent segments drawn from an external point to a circle are what to each other?
Equal in length.
When two chords intersect inside a circle, what is true about the four segments created?
The products of opposite segments are equal: (segment 1) times (segment 2) equals (segment 3) times (segment 4).
In a circle, if an arc measures 60 degrees, what is the measure of the central angle that subtends it?
60 degrees.
The Pythagorean theorem (a^2 + b^2 = c^2) applies to which type of triangle?
Right triangles only.
In a 45-45-90 triangle with legs of length 1, what is the length of the hypotenuse?
√2.
In a 30-60-90 triangle where the shortest side (opposite 30 degrees) has length 1, what is the hypotenuse?
2.
In a 30-60-90 triangle where the shortest side has length 1, what is the length of the side opposite 60 degrees?
√3.
What is the sum of the three angles in any triangle?
180 degrees.
In an isosceles triangle, what is true about the base angles?
They are equal.
What does the exterior angle theorem state about a triangle?
An exterior angle equals the sum of the two non-adjacent interior angles.
What does it mean for two triangles to be similar?
Their corresponding angles are equal and their corresponding sides are proportional.
