Edexcel A Level Maths: Pure:復(fù)習(xí)筆記3.2.4 Angle in a Semicircle
Angle in a Semicircle
What is the angle in a semicircle property?
- It is always possible to draw a?unique?circle through the three vertices of a triangle – this is called the?circumcircle?of the triangle
- The?angle in a semicircle property?says that If a triangle is right-angled, then its hypotenuse is a diameter of its circumcircle
- It also says that?any?angle at the circumference in a semicircle is a right angle
How can I use the angle in a semicircle property to find the equation of a circle?
- Because the hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle is a diameter of the triangle's circumcircle you also know that:
- the radius of the circumcircle is half the length of the hypotenuse
- the centre of the circumcircle is the midpoint of the hypotenuse
- Once you know the radius and the centre you can write down the?equation of the circle
Exam Tip
- To show that a triangle is right-angled, show that the lengths of its sides satisfy Pythagoras' theorem.
