  2. Circle theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circle_theorem

    Circle theorem may refer to: Any of many theorems related to the circle; often taught as a group in GCSE mathematics. These include: Inscribed angle theorem. Thales' theorem, if A, B and C are points on a circle where the line AC is a diameter of the circle, then the angle ∠ABC is a right angle. Alternate segment theorem. Ptolemy's theorem.

  3. Milne-Thomson circle theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milne-Thomson_circle_theorem

    In fluid dynamics the Milne-Thomson circle theorem or the circle theorem is a statement giving a new stream function for a fluid flow when a cylinder is placed into that flow. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] It was named after the English mathematician L. M. Milne-Thomson .

  4. Clifford's circle theorems - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clifford's_circle_theorems

    The second theorem considers five circles in general position passing through a single point M. Each subset of four circles defines a new point P according to the first theorem. Then these five points all lie on a single circle C. The third theorem considers six circles in general position that pass through a single point M. Each subset of five ...

  5. Thales's theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thales's_theorem

    In geometry, Thales's theorem states that if A, B, and C are distinct points on a circle where the line AC is a diameter, the angle ∠ ABC is a right angle. Thales's theorem is a special case of the inscribed angle theorem and is mentioned and proved as part of the 31st proposition in the third book of Euclid's Elements. [1]

  6. Conway circle theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conway_circle_theorem

    Conway's circle theorem as a special case of the generalisation, called "side divider theorem" (Villiers) or "windscreen wiper theorem" (Polster)) Conway's circle is a special case of a more general circle for a triangle that can be obtained as follows: Given any ABC with an arbitrary point P on line AB.

  8. Power of a point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_of_a_point

    Steiner used the power of a point for proofs of several statements on circles, for example: Determination of a circle, that intersects four circles by the same angle. [2] Solving the Problem of Apollonius; Construction of the Malfatti circles: [3] For a given triangle determine three circles, which touch each other and two sides of the triangle ...

  9. Pascal's theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pascal's_theorem

    A short elementary proof of Pascal's theorem in the case of a circle was found by van Yzeren (1993), based on the proof in (Guggenheimer 1967). This proof proves the theorem for circle and then generalizes it to conics. A short elementary computational proof in the case of the real projective plane was found by Stefanovic (2010).
