  • 2. 

    The sum of the measures of all inscribed angles in a circle is...

    • 180 degrees

    • 270 degrees

    • 360 degrees

    • 540 degrees

    Correct Answer
    A. 360 degrees
    Explanation
    The sum of the measures of all inscribed angles in a circle is always 360 degrees, corresponding to a full circle.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    The measure of an inscribed angle is equal to...

    • Half the measure of its intercepted arc

    • Twice the measure of its intercepted arc

    • The measure of its intercepted arc

    • 90 degrees minus the measure of its intercepted arc

    Correct Answer
    A. Half the measure of its intercepted arc
    Explanation
    The measure of an inscribed angle is half the measure of the intercepted arc it spans on the circle.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    In an inscribed quadrilateral, opposite angles are...

    • Congruent

    • Supplementary

    • Complementary

    • Equal

    Correct Answer
    A. Supplementary
    Explanation
    In an inscribed quadrilateral, opposite angles are supplementary, meaning their measures add up to 180 degrees.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    An inscribed angle that intercepts a semicircle is always...

    • A right angle

    • An acute angle

    • An obtuse angle

    • Equal to the central angle

    Correct Answer
    A. A right angle
    Explanation
    An inscribed angle that intercepts a semicircle is always a right angle (90 degrees), forming half of a circle's circumference.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    An inscribed angle in a semicircle is always...

    • A right angle

    • An acute angle

    • An obtuse angle

    • Half the measure of the central angle

    Correct Answer
    A. A right angle
    Explanation
    An inscribed angle in a semicircle is always a right angle (90 degrees) due to the semicircle's unique properties.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    An inscribed angle subtending a minor arc is...

    • Half the measure of the arc

    • Equal to the measure of the arc

    • Double the measure of the arc

    • Not related to the arc

    Correct Answer
    A. Half the measure of the arc
    Explanation
    An inscribed angle subtending a minor arc is equal to half the measure of the arc it subtends on the circle.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    If a central angle and an inscribed angle intercept the same arc, the central angle is...

    • Equal to the inscribed angle

    • Half the measure of the inscribed angle

    • Double the measure of the inscribed angle

    • Not related to the inscribed angle

    Correct Answer
    A. Double the measure of the inscribed angle
    Explanation
    If a central angle and an inscribed angle intercept the same arc, the central angle's measure is double that of the inscribed angle.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    The measure of a central angle is equal to...

    • The measure of the arc it intercepts

    • Half the measure of the arc it intercepts

    • Double the measure of the arc it intercepts

    • Not related to the intercepted arc

    Correct Answer
    A. The measure of the arc it intercepts
    Explanation
    The measure of a central angle is equal to the measure of the arc it intercepts on the circle.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    The sum of the measures of the inscribed angles on the same arc is...

    • 90 degrees

    • 180 degrees

    • 270 degrees

    • 360 degrees

    Correct Answer
    A. 360 degrees
    Explanation
    The sum of the measures of the inscribed angles on the same arc is always equal to 360 degrees, forming a full circle.
