1. In a circle, if a diameter is perpendicular to a chord, then it bisects the chord and its arc. Which theorem does this describe?
Congruent Chords Theorem
Perpendicular Chord Bisector Theorem
Equidistant Chords Theorem
Inscribed Angle Theorem
2. A segment whose endpoints are on a circle is called a .
3. An arc with a measure greater than 180 degrees is called a arc.
4. In a circle with center O, chord AB has a length of 16 cm. If the radius of the circle is 10 cm, what is the distance from the center O to the chord AB?
5. Congruent chords in the same circle subtend congruent arcs.
True
False
6. A minor arc has a measure less than or equal to 180 degrees.
True
False
7. In a circle, two chords are equidistant from the center. If one chord has a length of 24 cm, what is the length of the other chord?
8. Explain the relationship between the measure of a central angle and the measure of its intercepted arc. Provide an example.
