earlier today i didnt even know what a tangent was (never learnt circle theorems in school) but after 1 hour of going through your videos on this topic i could answer than final exam question - that is what i call a teacher!

[@TheGCSEMathsTutor]

Wow that’s incredible!! Well done to you for putting the work in, incredible dedication! Keep up the fantastic work 😁🙏🏼

[@Ilikesaucytoes]

I would always skip these questions or just scribble down any odd rule because I could never find videos actually putting the theorems into an exam question and the ones I found confused me. However in the space of 27 minutes I am confident now! My gcse is tomorrow AND THIS HAS SAVED MY FUTURE

[@Synersty]

At 25:00 I believe there was a much simpler way to do it is since the shape is a triangle and since the angles in a triangle add up to 180 you can also do (35+34) + (34+56) + angle X = 180 159 + x = 180 so x = 21 Either way i didnt really think about Angles at a point so that really helped!

[@catherinecarter3465]

Or you could work out the angle AOB 112. Half it for AOC (angles from the same arc and the centre and circumference) and use the angles in a triangle to get to the answer

[@princeutaunashe6461]

Or just listen

[@premamuthukumar5352]

I didn't learn much about circles at school (only area and circumference) and when I saw the questions, I thought, 'I'll never be able to do this' But after the first questions explained, I tried the rest and didn't get any incorrect! I showed my mother and she was really proud so thankyou so much :)

[@deangarratt4965]

Quicker way to do the final question: alternate segment theorem - 56 degrees for angle ACB. Tangent of 90 degrees less 56 degrees is 34 degrees for angle BAO, same for angle ABO. Angles within the large triangle can then be calculated. Top angle ABC 69 degrees plus angle BCA 56 degrees = 125 degrees. 180-125 is 55 degrees. 55 degrees less 34 degrees (angle BAO) = 21 degrees.

[@layer1087]

I did the same method was just about to explain it then saw ur comment, I was like there is even a quicker method than that, But we'll explained on ur part brother I defo wldve over complicated stuff or made it sooo simple that no one wld understand.

@@TheGCSEMathsTutor heyyy, at 7:55 since AOB is an isosceles triangle, doesn't that mean angle A is also 43°??

[@majoraslam]

@@lailataluminousnight8064 yes it is

[@beckysmith4913]

Enjoying these. I used alternate segment and tangent meets radius then base angles of isosceles then interior angles of triangle. Super fun haha

[@niveankoneswaran7395]

You deserve more subs for the amount of help your giving away for free

[@ashaz5502]

I'm late but i realized there was a easier way of doing the question solved in 21:27 . So the radius and tangent meeting creates a 90 degree (OAE is 90 degrees) and you find out the other angle by doing 90 -56 which is 34. OAB is an isosceles triangle so the angle opp. of 34 will also be 34. Now if you look BCA is a triangle in a circle so we use the circle theorem (angles in alternate segments are equal) so we do 34 + 35 = 69. Now if you also look at the other side (where radius and tangent meet) there will also be a 90 degree bc radius meeting tangent and also bc it is a straight line (180 degrees). So 90 - 69 = 21. This might look like its complicating but if you try it is actually the easiest method you can use.

[@Sanjay-j6d8x]

21:26 I found a much simpler way. we could just use the alternate segment theorem to get 56 as the angle for ACB and then double it for angle AOB. and then the rest is just subtracting it from 360.

[@nayemisfluffy]

15:38, mate its actually just a 2 step process as OAB becomes 57. and u can see that BO and AO are coming from the circumference to the radius meaning that they are isosceles, so we can just (180 - 57)/2

[@Wondering..]

thank you for your great video AT 7:38 I WORKED WITH tangents meet a circle at 90* and a triangle is 180* therefore 86+90+90= 266-(180 which is actual addition of angles in a triangle) which gives surplus 86* for the other triangle x is in an issosless triangle therefore i divide 86 by two and get 43* now question is does it always work?

[@TheGCSEMathsTutor]

COSTIE TV You will find that most circle theorems have multiples journeys that you can take towards the answer, the key is the reasoning and showing your logic behind your method 😁🙏🏼

[@greensleeves7165]

(15:18 and elsewhere) Can you just assume that O is the centre? How do you know formally that the triangle is isosceles?

Dont know bout the centre, but for the triangles, the small lines denote that they are equal.

For 21:22 The 60 doesn't add up to 180 so is it right as its an isosicles trinagle?

AT 11:49, why can't we use an alternate segment to find the angle PQT?. The result will be the same.

[@ohhhmyyylifeee]

at 14:19, how could you tell that that was an isoceles triangle and be sure that those two sides were equal? as there was not any two dash thingies on the side to show it as equal? Could you tell just by looking at it or was there some maths behind it that showed this? Thank you

There is nowhere that says the triangle is an isosceles 😫 and unfortunately we can’t make that assumption given the information!

@@yourlocalpostman hey i got a question regarding that, for the 2nd last question at 20:38, wont triangle ADC and triangle ABC be isoceles?

[@yourlocalpostman]

@@birdie7344 Nah they're not because a radius must begin from the centre of a circle and extend to any point on the circumference of that same circle. The vertices on both triangles ADC and ABC begin and end on either sides of the circumference so by definition they can't be isosceles because none of the sides are of equal length. The question would usually say "x is the point on the centre of the circle" which gives a hint that a radius/diameter is involved, thus isosceles triangles may be present. But for this particular question, the use of cyclic quadrilaterals is relevant

Sir for GCSE mocks, do we get grades like the real GCSEs: scores compared with all pupils and creating grade boundaries from how well the students did as a whole. Or are the grade boundaries for the exams are created before even the students sat the tests like the older curriculum? For example 70% = Grade 7. I have asked my form tutor today but I did not get a clear answer. Please can you tell me if you know? Thank you so much, you are a savior!

I think my problem with circle theorem is finding what theorem to use. I don't know I just can't find the multiple theorems and how to use it.

You have to run through them all.. can I see a diameter.. if so, where is the 90 degree angle… can I see a tangent.. if so where is the 90 degrees.. or can I see a quadrilateral touching the circumference, if so, opposite angles equal 180!
