    Remember:

    • All circles are similar: a translation and a dilation with factor \(\frac{r_2}{r_1}\) map one onto another.
    • A central angle equals its arc; an inscribed angle equals half its arc.
    • An angle inscribed in a semicircle measures \(90^{\circ}\).
    • A radius is perpendicular to a tangent, and a circumscribed angle is \(180^{\circ}\) minus its minor arc.
    • Opposite angles of an inscribed quadrilateral are supplementary.
