Practice Questions

Answer all questions. Show your working in the grid spaces provided.
1.
On a map, a diameter of a circular lake is 6 km long. What is the measure of the angle between two straight paths from a point on the circle passing through the endpoints of the diameter?
[2 marks]
2.
Calculate the angle at a point on a circular roundabout if the two roads intersect at the ends of a diameter of the circle.
[2 marks]
3.
A cyclist travels along a circular park with a diameter of 400 meters. If the cyclist starts at a point on the circumference and travels to a point directly opposite, what is the angle formed with the diameter?
[2 marks]
4.
Construct a diagram showing a semicircular map route where an angle inscribed in the semicircle is 90°. Label the key points.
[3 marks]
5.
In a city map, a bridge connects two points on the edge of a circular river. If the bridge forms a 90° angle with the diameter passing through these points, what is the length of the bridge if the radius of the river is 5 km?
[3 marks]
6.
A road runs from a point on a circular roundabout to a point on the circumference, passing through the center. If the radius of the roundabout is 300 meters, what is the measure of the angle at the point on the circumference?
[2 marks]
7.
A traveler plans to walk from a point on a circular city park’s boundary to a point directly across the park, passing through the center. If the radius of the park is 150 meters, what is the angle at the boundary point?
[2 marks]
8.
Identify and correct the mistake in the following statement: 'Angles inscribed in a semicircle are always 180°.'
[2 marks]
9.
A map shows a circular island with a diameter of 10 km. A boat travels from one point on the circumference to another point passing through the center of the island. What is the angle between the boat's route and a tangent to the circle at the starting point?
[3 marks]
10.
A circular viewing platform has a radius of 20 meters. An engineer plans a walkway from a point on the edge to another point directly opposite, passing through the center. Calculate the angle at the starting point where the walkway meets the edge.
[2 marks]
