Practice Questions

Answer all questions. Show your working in the grid spaces provided.
1.
In a circle with radius 10 cm, a chord is 16 cm long. Calculate the perpendicular distance from the center of the circle to this chord.
[2 marks]
2.
Construct a chord of length 12 cm in a circle with radius 8 cm. Show all construction steps on the grid.
[3 marks]
3.
A chord is 14 cm long in a circle, and its distance from the center is 9 cm. Find the radius of the circle.
[2 marks]
4.
In a circle, two chords of lengths 10 cm and 24 cm intersect inside the circle. The segment of the shorter chord from the intersection point is 4 cm. What is the length of the segment of the longer chord from the intersection?
[4 marks]
5.
The perpendicular bisector of a chord in a circle passes through the center. If a chord is 20 cm long and its perpendicular distance from the center is 8 cm, find the radius of the circle.
[3 marks]
6.
A circle has a radius of 15 cm. A chord is 24 cm long. Calculate the distance from the center of the circle to this chord.
[2 marks]
7.
In the diagram, a chord AB is 18 cm long, and the perpendicular from the center O to AB meets AB at point M. If OM = 7 cm, find the radius of the circle.
[3 marks]
8.
A circle with radius 12 cm has a chord that is 16 cm long. Find the measure of the central angle subtended by this chord.
[3 marks]
9.
A chord of length 20 cm in a circle is such that the distance from the center to the chord is 12 cm. Find the radius of the circle.
[3 marks]
10.
Identify and correct the mistake in the following statement: 'In a circle, all chords are equal in length if they are equidistant from the center.'
[2 marks]
11.
Two chords in a circle intersect, creating segments of lengths 9 cm and 12 cm on one chord. The segments on the other chord are 7 cm and x cm. Find x.
