How does everyone go about remembering all of these theorems:confused:? I have got no chance:mad:.

yeah, u'll get to know them

like, whenever u c a radius, u'll remember to look 4 atangent, whenever u c a tangent, u look 4 the alternate theorm

plus, are there really over 30? the 3u excel book has a summary of them on 2 pages, and i dont think there r that many :confused:

most are obvious and relate to each other, so dont be overwhelmed by having to 'learn 32 formulas'.

the most common stuff that will pop up is: (and also learn proofs for these):
- Alt. angle segment theorem.
- Tangents to a point and ratios of lines/common tangents
- Cyclic Quads.
- Things like angles in semicircles, angles on the same arc/segment.
- Etc...

Just be thankful that 3U geometry is not too obscure. There is usually one of the above sitting nice and obviously in there.
