The Geometry of the Circle

Investigating the properties of tangents, chords, and cyclic quadrilaterals through formal geometric proof.

Key Questions

  2. 2What is the logical connection between a tangent and the radius at the point of contact?
  3. 3How do circle theorems help us solve complex problems in navigation or architecture?
