Remembering Circle Geometry properties/laws. (1 Viewer)

[shaon0]

What is a good way to remember Circle Geometry properties? I'm finding it very hard to memorise all the properties of the circle. Hence, that is the reason why i suck at geometry.

the way i learnt them was just to do heaps and heaps of questions

theres alot to remember aye

Yeah, if they scrapped geometry from HSC mathematics all together then i reckon i could get 95+ in MX1 but if they don't i have no chance at something like that

Just practising heaps of questions. It's one thing knowing the properties, it's another identifying them in a question. I think it's not that you don't know the properties, you just find it difficult identifying them in a question.

i think its both.

Well, knowing the properties is just a matter of reading the textbook.

And memorising it which i seem to not be able to do...
I have a question, in a cyclic quad, do the diagonals always perpendicularly bisect each other?

yep just do HEAPS of questions. sooner or later you'd be able to see the pattern pretty quickly.

memorising the actual formulae does not work. i tried that in years 9 and 10 and trust me, it does not work.

yea i tried that to...it doesn't work.

You can link some properties together cause they all interrelate.
For example, the angle in a semi circle is a right angle because the angle at the centre (diameter 180) is twice the angle at the circumference subtended by the same arc and lying on the same segment.
Basically, you can infer properties. Each leads to another.

like everyone said do as many questions as possible. your bound to remember them and i highly doubt you wont. i just had a circle geo test on friday and yeh...
