  1. Radius
  2. Arc
  3. Tangent
  4. Chord
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: D — Chord
A chord joins two points on the circumference; the longest chord is the diameter.
Q7 · Difficulty 1/3

A line that touches a circle at exactly one point is a:

  1. Secant
  2. Tangent
  3. Diameter
  4. Chord
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: B — Tangent
A tangent touches the circle at a single point and is perpendicular to the radius at that point.
Q8 · Difficulty 1/3

A tangent to a circle meets the radius drawn to the point of tangency at which angle?

  1. 45°
  2. 90°
  3. 180°
  4. 60°
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: B — 90°
A tangent to a circle is perpendicular to the radius at the point of tangency, making a 90° angle. 45° is a common guess based on bisected right angles. 60° appears in equilateral triangle constructions and is sometimes confused here. 180° describes a straight line, not a tangent-radius relationship.
