1.
Calculate the measure of the inscribed angle in a semicircle where the diameter measures 10 cm.
[2 marks]
2.
In a circle, an inscribed angle subtends a diameter. What is the measure of this angle?
[2 marks]
3.
Construct a semicircle with a diameter of 8 cm. Draw an inscribed angle in the semicircle and measure it.
[3 marks]
4.
