Proposition 1

To find the centre of a given circle.
We do not formalize this proposition, because in our formalization circles are given by its center and point on the circle.

Proposition 2

If on the circumference of a circle two points are taken at random, the straight line joining the points will fall within the circle.

Lemma prop_2 : O P U V X,
 X U X V
 Bet U X V
 OnCircle U O P
 OnCircle V O P
 InCircleS X O P.
Proof.
exact bet_onc2__incs.
Qed.

Proposition 3

If in a circle a straight line passing through the center bisects a straight line not passing through the center, it also cuts it at right angles; and if it cut it at right angles, it also bisects it.

Lemma prop_3_1 : O P A B X,
 OX AB
 OnCircle A O P
 OnCircle B O P
 Midpoint X A B
 Perp O X A B.
Proof.
exact mid_onc2__perp.
Qed.

Lemma prop_3_2 : O P A B X,
 OX AB
 Col A B X
 OnCircle A O P
 OnCircle B O P
 Perp O X A B
 Midpoint X A B.
Proof.
exact col_onc2_perp__mid.
Qed.

Proposition 4

If in a circle two straight lines cut one another which are not through the center, they do not bisect one another.

Lemma prop_4 : O P A B C D X, B C A B
 OnCircle A O P
 OnCircle B O P
 OnCircle C O P
 OnCircle D O P
 Midpoint X A C
 Midpoint X B D
 X = O.
Proof.
exact mid2_onc4__eq.
Qed.

Proposition 5

If two circles cut one another, they will not have the same center.

Lemma prop_5 : A B C D,
 InterCC A B C D
 AC.
Proof.
exact intercc__neq.
Qed.

Proposition 6

If two circles touch one another, they will not have the same center.

Lemma prop_6: A B C D,
 AB
 TangentCC A B C D
 AC.
Proof.
exact tangentcc__neq.
Qed.

Proposition 9

If a point is taken within a circle, and more than two equal straight lines fall from the point on the circle, the point taken is the center of the circle.

Lemma prop_9 : O P X A B C, A B A C B C
  OnCircle A O P
  OnCircle B O P
  OnCircle C O P
  Cong X A X B
  Cong X A X C
  X = O.
Proof.
exact cong2_onc3__eq.
Qed.

Proposition 11

If two circles touch one another internally, and their centers are taken, the straight line joining their centres, being produced, will fall on the point of contact of the circles.

Proposition 12

If two circles touch one another externally, the straight line joining their centers will pass through the point of contact.
In our formalization we do not need to distinguish between the two kinds of tangency.

Lemma prop_11_12 : A B C D X,
 TangentCC A B C D
 OnCircle X A B
 OnCircle X C D
 Col X A C.
Proof.
exact TangentCC_Col.
Qed.

Proposition 18

If a straight line touches a circle, and a straight line is joined from the centre to the point of contact, the straight line so joined will be perpendicular to the tangent.

Lemma prop_18 :
A B O P T,
 O P
 TangentAt A B O P T
 Perp A B O T.
Proof.
exact tangentat_perp.
Qed.
