What it covers
Euclidean Geometry: Circle Theorems, Proofs and Riders is a Grade 11 Mathematics topic in the CAPS curriculum, examined in Mathematics Paper 2 of the Grade 11 school and provincial exams. You study it in 5 sections: Centre theorems, the semicircle and angles in the same segment; Cyclic quadrilaterals; Tangents: radius, equal tangents and the tan-chord theorem; Proofs of the examinable theorems; Riders: proving that ….
How it is examined
