A secant and a tangent are drawn from an external point. The tangent is 6; the secant's external segment is 4. Find the whole secant length.
Answer: 9
6² = 4 × whole, so whole = 36/4 = 9.
Two arcs in the same circle have equal length. Their central angles must be:
Answer: Equal
Equal arcs in the same circle correspond to equal central angles.
A circle has area 49π. What is its circumference?
Answer: 14π
Area 49π gives r = 7, so circumference = 2π(7) = 14π.
The angle formed by two chords intersecting inside a circle equals:
Answer: Half the sum of the intercepted arcs
An interior angle equals half the sum of the two intercepted arcs.
Concentric circles share the same:
Answer: Center
Concentric circles have a common center but different radii.
A 30° central angle in a circle of radius 12 subtends an arc of length:
Answer: 2π
Arc = (30/360)(2π·12) = (1/12)(24π) = 2π.
An inscribed quadrilateral (cyclic) has opposite angles that are always:
Answer: Supplementary
Opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral sum to 180°.
