TIPS TO SOLVING GEOMETRY RIDERS

• READ-READ-READ the information next to the diagram thoroughly

• TRANSFER all given information to the DIAGRAM

• Look for KEYWORDS, e.g.

TANGENT: What do the theorems say about tangents?

CYCLIC QUADRILATERAL: What are the properties of a cyclic quad?

• NEVER ASSUME something!

- Don’t assume that a certain line is the DIAMETER of a circle unless it is clearly

state or unless you can prove it

- Don’t assume that a point is the CENTRE of a circle unless it is clearly stated

(“circle M” means “the circle with midpoint M”)

• Set yourself “SECONDARY” GOALS, e.g.

- To prove that �� = � (primary goal), first prove that

�� = � (secondary goal) and vice versa

- To prove that line AC is a tangent (primary goal), first prove that the line is

perpendicular to radius OB (secondary goal)

AC is tangent

- To prove that BC is the diameter of the circle (primary goal), first prove that �� =90° (secondary goal)

BC is the diameter of the circle

• For questions like: Prove that ��� � . Start with ONE PART.

Move to the OTHER PART step-by-step stating reasons.

Remember it has to be clear and logical to the reader!

E.g. ��� = �� ; �� = �� ; �� = � ; ∴ ��� = �
