Practice Questions
Answer all questions. Show your working in the grid spaces provided.
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.
Explain why any inscribed angle in a semicircle is always 90°, including a brief diagram description.
[3 marks]5.
A circle has a radius of 6 cm. A diameter is drawn, and a point on the circle forms an inscribed angle with the endpoints of the diameter. What is the value of this angle?
[2 marks]6.
Given a triangle inscribed in a circle with one side as the diameter, prove that the angle opposite the diameter is 90°.
[3 marks]7.
A chord in a circle subtends a 90° inscribed angle at a point on the circle. If the chord measures 12 cm, what is the radius of the circle?
[3 marks]8.
In a real-world scenario, a playground circle has a diameter of 20 m. Find the measure of a shadow cast by a pole placed at a point on the circle, considering the angle inscribed in the semicircle.
[3 marks]9.
Construct a diagram of a circle with a diameter and an inscribed angle. Label all parts and verify the angle measures 90°.
[2 marks]10.
Identify and correct the mistake in the following statement: 'All angles inscribed in a circle are 90°,' with explanation.
