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]
Due to the Pythagorean theorem the number () has the simple geometric meanings shown in the diagram: For a point outside the circle () is the squared tangential distance | | of point to the circle . Points with equal power, isolines of Π ( P ) {\displaystyle \Pi (P)} , are circles concentric to circle c {\displaystyle c} .
The circle is a highly symmetric shape: every line through the centre forms a line of reflection symmetry, and it has rotational symmetry around the centre for every angle. Its symmetry group is the orthogonal group O(2,R). The group of rotations alone is the circle group T. All circles are similar. [12] A circle circumference and radius are ...
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 ...
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.
The first of these theorems is the spherical analogue of a plane theorem, and the second theorem is its dual, that is, the result of interchanging great circles and their poles. [32] Kiper et al. [ 33 ] proved a converse of the theorem: If the summations of the opposite sides are equal in a spherical quadrilateral, then there exists an ...
