Vectors and Circles is a part of the VCE Specialist Maths topic and subtopic Vector Proofs. Some of the proofs learnt in this section include:
- angles at the circumference of a circle subtended by the same arc are equal
- the radius is perpendicular to the tangent at the tangent point
- the angle between a tangent and a chord is equal to the angle in a separate segment.
