Equation of a circle:

In an x−y coordinate system, the circle with center (a,b) and radius r is the set of all points (x,y) such that:

(xa)2+(yb)2=r2

Circle centered at the origin:

x2+y2=r2

Parametric equations

x=a+rcosty=b+rsint

where t is a parametric variable.

In polar coordinates the equation of a circle is:

r22rr0cos(Θϕ)+r20=a2

Area of a circle:

A=r2π

Circumference of a circle:

C=πd=2πr

Theorems:

(Chord theorem) The chord theorem states that if two chords, CD and EF, intersect at G, then:

CDDG=EGFG

Tangent secant theorem

tangent secant Chord theorem

(Tangent-secant theorem) If a tangent from an external point D meets the circle at C and a secant from the external point D meets the circle at G and E respectively, then

DC2=DGDE

(Secant - secant theorem) If two secants, DG and DE, also cut the circle at H and F respectively, then:

DHDG=DFDE

(Tangent chord property) The angle between a tangent and chord is equal to the subtended angle on the opposite side of the chord.
