Sample Questions

1multiple correct

Which of the following statements about circles are correct?

Show answer

The perpendicular from center to chord bisects the chord, Equal chords are equidistant from center, All radii of a circle are equal

Statement 1: Theorem 23 states this. Statement 2: Theorem 24 proves this. Statement 4: By definition of circle. Statement 3 is wrong as diameter is the longest chord. Statement 5 is wrong as no chord can exceed diameter length.

2multiple choice

Two chords AB and CD of a circle are parallel and lie on opposite sides of center. If AB = 16 cm, CD = 12 cm, and distance between chords is 14 cm, find the radius.

Show answer

10 cm

Let distances from center be x and (14-x). Half-lengths: 8 cm and 6 cm. From Pythagorean theorem: r² = x² + 8² and r² = (14-x)² + 6². Solving: x² + 64 = (14-x)² + 36. x = 6. So r² = 36 + 64 = 100, r = 10 cm.

3multiple correct

Which of the following are properties of equal chords in a circle?

Show answer

They are equidistant from center, They subtend equal angles at center, They cut equal arcs

Equal chords have three main properties: (1) Equidistant from center (Theorem 24), (2) Subtend equal central angles, (3) Cut equal arcs. They don't need to pass through center or be parallel.

4multiple choice

If arc AB = arc CD in a circle, what can we conclude about chords AB and CD?

Show answer

AB = CD

In a circle, equal arcs cut equal chords. This is a fundamental property: if arc AB = arc CD, then chord AB = chord CD.
