Video Solution Of Plane Geometry Question (Plus:Strategy To Handle Angles)
This is the step by step video solution for this Plane Geometry question
Inside this video, you will get to know how I begin this question with a clear objective and the steps I took to achieve this objective.
I used 2 strategies (on differentiating the angles) to quickly and easily prove this question.
- Letting an angle be x
- Usage of color (In exams, you can perhaps use different type of lines to differentiate the angles as well)
Hear from you on this approach. If you have your own approach, we would love to hear from you.

A-Math: This Plane Geometry Question Almost Drives Me To Insanity!
Plane geometry is one of the top killer questions in A-Math as there are many things to prove in addition to the many lines, circles, triangles, angles ...
Read about the post I wrote earlier What you need to know to do well in Plane Geometry Part 1
I must admit this question almost drives me to insanity ;-) but luckily I saw the light when I was on the verge of sane and insanity ...
Question: Prove that a circle can be drawn passing through the points T,P,X and Q. [3 marks]

Let me know how you handle this question in the comments section. For those who wants the step by step solution, drop me a comment as well. I highly recommend that you think about this question first before asking for solution.
There are 2 strategies I have used to help me in this Plane Geometry question. Do you want to know? so that you can learn and use them in your own question.
Hint: You must use one of the properties of circles.
