Euclidean Geometry

Circle theorems, concurrency, collinearity, angle chasing, and triangle centres

Key Concepts
  • Similar triangles and the circle theorems
  • Power of a point for secants and tangents
  • Ceva's and Menelaus's theorems for concurrency and collinearity
  • Cyclic quadrilaterals unlock angle relationships
Important Formulae
Ceva's theorem (BD/DC)(CE/EA)(AF/FB) = 1 (concurrent cevians)
Menelaus's theorem (BD/DC)(CE/EA)(AF/FB) = −1 (collinear points)
Power of a point PA · PB = PC · PD
Quick Tips
  • Identify cyclic quadrilaterals early — they generate equal angles.
  • Angle chasing should usually be your first attempt.
Sample Practice Questions
  1. The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is:

    • 90°
