Sample questions

  • What relates central and inscribed angles over the same arc?
  • An inscribed angle is i°. Find the central angle over the same arc.
  • A central angle over the same arc is c°. Find the inscribed angle.
  • Intersecting chord segments are a cm and b cm, and the other chord has segments x cm and y. Find y.
  • What angle is formed by a tangent and the radius to the point of tangency?
  • An arc measures a°. What is its central angle?
  • Which statement correctly describes a tangent to a circle?
  • Two tangents are drawn from the same external point. One segment is a cm. Find the other.

Circle angles, chords and tangents

A central angle has the same measure as its intercepted arc, while an inscribed angle subtending the same arc has half that measure. An inscribed angle subtending a diameter is a right angle.

Chords and tangents

A radius drawn to a point of tangency is perpendicular to the tangent. Tangent segments from the same external point have equal lengths. Mark the intercepted arc before calculating and distinguish carefully between central and inscribed angles.
