How am I supposed to learn the 30+ Circle Geometry Theorems? (1 Viewer)

[SoCal]

How does everyone go about remembering all of these theorems? I have got no chance.

 

[...]

do questions on them, then u'll not only remember it, but also understand them

 

[iambored]

yeah, u'll get to know them

like, whenever u c a radius, u'll remember to look 4 atangent, whenever u c a tangent, u look 4 the alternate theorm

plus, are there really over 30? the 3u excel book has a summary of them on 2 pages, and i dont think there r that many

 

[...]

well....
dunno if there are exactly 30..but if there is, majority of them are like very simple one

I think there are 32 but I cannot really remember. I suppose more questions it is then.

 

[Fosweb]

most are obvious and relate to each other, so dont be overwhelmed by having to 'learn 32 formulas'.

the most common stuff that will pop up is: (and also learn proofs for these):
- Alt. angle segment theorem.
- Tangents to a point and ratios of lines/common tangents
- Cyclic Quads.
- Things like angles in semicircles, angles on the same arc/segment.
- Etc...

Just be thankful that 3U geometry is not too obscure. There is usually one of the above sitting nice and obviously in there.

Remember, a lot of these theorms are things you might assmue are true anyway (ie: dead obvoius) ...
