Circle Geometry Angles and Arcs

This video tutorial explores the relationships between arcs and angles in circles, covering key concepts such as central angles, inscribed angles, and external angles. It also introduces essential circle vocabulary, including terms like secant, radius, and tangent. The tutorial explains how to calculate angles and arcs in various scenarios, such as when the vertex is at the center, on the circle, or outside the circle. Additionally, it discusses properties of quadrilaterals inscribed in circles and provides examples to illustrate these geometric principles.

What is the relationship between an angle and its arc when the vertex is at the center of the circle?

• The angle is unrelated to the arc.

• The angle is double the arc.

• The angle is equal to the arc.

• The angle is half the arc.

If the vertex of an angle is on the circle, how does the angle relate to the arc?

• The angle is unrelated to the arc.

• The angle is half the arc.

• The angle is double the arc.

• The angle is equal to the arc.

What is a secant in circle geometry?

• A line that touches the circle at one point.

• A line that passes through the center of the circle.

• A line that cuts through the interior of a circle.

• A segment that starts at the center and ends on the circle.

Which of the following is a radius?

• A segment that starts at the center and ends on the circle.

• A line that cuts through the circle.

• A segment that begins and ends on the circle.

• A line that touches the circle at one point.

What defines a major arc?

• An arc that is more than half a circle.

• An arc that is exactly half a circle.

• An arc that is equal to the angle at the center.

• An arc that is less than half a circle.

What is a tangent in circle geometry?

• A line that cuts through the circle.

• A line that passes through the center of the circle.

• A segment that starts at the center and ends on the circle.

• A line that touches the circle at one point.

What is the point of tangency?

• The point where a chord intersects the circle.

• The point where a radius meets the circle.

• The point where a secant intersects the circle.

• The point where a tangent touches the circle.

What is a chord in circle geometry?

• A line that touches the circle at one point.

• A segment that starts at the center and ends on the circle.

• A line that cuts through the circle.

• A segment that begins and ends on the circle.

What is an inscribed angle?

• An angle that is double the arc.

• An angle whose vertex is at the center of the circle.

• An angle whose vertex is on the circle.

• An angle that is equal to the arc.

What is a diameter in circle geometry?

• A line that cuts through the circle.

• A segment that starts at the center and ends on the circle.

• A chord that goes through the center of the circle.

• A line that touches the circle at one point.
