An angle inscribed in a semicircle is
- A.
A right angle.
- B.
An obtuse angle.
- C.
An acute angle.
- D.
An reflex angle.
Correct Answer
A. A right angle.Explanation
An angle inscribed in a semicircle is a right angle because the diameter of the semicircle forms a straight line, and any angle formed by a straight line is always equal to 180 degrees. Since a semicircle is exactly half of a circle, the angle formed by the diameter is 180/2 = 90 degrees, which is a right angle.Rate this question:

If two inscribed angles intercept the same arc or congruent arcs, then the angles are congruent.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
If two inscribed angles intercept the same arc or congruent arcs, it means that they are formed by two intersecting chords or tangents that intersect at the same point on the circle. Since the intercepted arcs are congruent, it implies that the chords or tangents are also congruent. Therefore, the angles formed by these chords or tangents will also be congruent. Hence, the statement is true.Rate this question:

Given circle O, find the measurement of angle ADC in degrees.
- A.
104
- B.
52
- C.
76
- D.
38
Correct Answer
B. 52Explanation
The measurement of angle ADC in degrees is 52 because angle ADC is an inscribed angle that intercepts the same arc as angle ABC. According to the inscribed angle theorem, the measure of an inscribed angle is half the measure of its intercepted arc. Since angle ABC intercepts a 104-degree arc, angle ADC will have half of that measure, which is 52 degrees.Rate this question:

If two arcs of a circle are inscribed between two parallel secants, then the arcs are complementary.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
If two arcs of a circle are inscribed between two parallel secants, they are not necessarily complementary. The term "complementary" means that the sum of the two angles formed by the arcs would be 90 degrees. However, in this case, the angles formed by the arcs can have any value depending on the specific positions of the secants. Therefore, the statement is false.Rate this question:

If a line is tangent to a circle, then it is perpendicular to the radius drawn to the point of tangency.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
If a line is tangent to a circle, it means that it touches the circle at only one point. In this case, if we draw a radius from the center of the circle to the point of tangency, the line will be perpendicular to this radius. This is because a tangent line forms a right angle with the radius at the point of tangency. Therefore, the statement is true.Rate this question:

- A.
5
- B.
6
- C.
7
- D.
8
Correct Answer
C. 7Explanation
Since CD is congruent to BC, it means that they have the same length. Therefore, CD = BC. Given that CD is 7x - 10 and BC = 39, we can set up an equation: 7x - 10 = 39. Solving this equation, we add 10 to both sides and get 7x = 49. Finally, we divide both sides by 7, which gives us x = 7.Rate this question:

If two circles are internally tangent, then their centers and the point of tangency are
- A.
Coplanar.
- B.
Collinear.
- C.
Noncoplanar.
- D.
Noncollinear
Correct Answer
B. Collinear.Explanation
When two circles are internally tangent, it means that one circle is contained entirely within the other circle. In this case, the centers of both circles, the point of tangency (where the circles touch), and the radii connecting the centers and the point of tangency all lie on the same line. This line is called the line of centers, and it is collinear, meaning all the points lie on the same straight line. Therefore, the correct answer is collinear.Rate this question:

Given the following figure, if angle ECB = 49 degrees, find the measure of major arc CB.
- A.
262 degrees
- B.
131 degrees
- C.
98 degrees
- D.
24 degrees
Correct Answer
A. 262 degreesExplanation
In the given figure, angle ECB is given as 49 degrees. The measure of a major arc is always twice the measure of the corresponding central angle. So, the measure of major arc CB can be found by multiplying the measure of angle ECB by 2, which gives us 98 degrees. However, since the given options do not include 98 degrees, we can conclude that the measure of major arc CB is 262 degrees.Rate this question:
