Solved Geometry Chapter 10 Parts of a Circle Worksheet #2 1 ... - Free Printable

Let's solve each part of this Geometry: Parts of a Circle Worksheet step by step, using the diagrams and definitions.

---

Problem 1: Give an example of each circle part using the diagram below.

We are given a circle with points labeled: $ G, H, I, J, K, L $. Point $ K $ is at the center (since it's marked with a dot in the middle), and various lines connect these points.

#### Diagram 1:
```
G
/ \
/ \
H-----I
| |
| |
J-----L
\ /
K
```

From the diagram:
- $ K $ is the center
- Lines from $ K $ to other points on the circle are radii
- Chords connect two points on the circle
- Diameter passes through the center
- Tangent touches the circle at one point
- Secant intersects the circle at two points

Now let’s identify each:

| Part | Example | Explanation |
|------|--------|-----------|
| a) Center | $ K $ | The center of the circle is point $ K $ |
| b) Radius | $ KI $ or $ KJ $ | A segment from center to any point on the circle |
| c) Chord | $ HI $ or $ JL $ | Any line segment connecting two points on the circle |
| d) Diameter | $ HL $ | A chord passing through the center (from $ H $ to $ L $, passing through $ K $) |
| e) Secant | $ GH $ | A line that intersects the circle at two points ($ G $ and $ H $) |
| f) Tangent | $ GJ $ | A line that touches the circle at exactly one point ($ J $) |
| g) Point of Tangency | $ J $ | The point where tangent touches the circle |
| h) Minor Arc | $ \overset{\frown}{HI} $ | An arc less than 180°; e.g., arc from $ H $ to $ I $ |
| i) Major Arc | $ \overset{\frown}{HJI} $ | An arc greater than 180°, going the long way around |
| j) Semicircle | $ \overset{\frown}{HL} $ | Half the circle, like arc from $ H $ to $ L $ through $ I $ or $ J $ |
| k) Central Angle | $ \angle HKI $ | An angle formed at the center by two radii (e.g., $ \angle HKI $) |
| l) Inscribed Angle | $ \angle HJI $ | An angle formed by two chords meeting at a point on the circle |

✔ Answer Key for Problem 1:
- a) $ K $
- b) $ KI $
- c) $ HI $
- d) $ HL $
- e) $ GH $
- f) $ GJ $
- g) $ J $
- h) $ \overset{\frown}{HI} $
- i) $ \overset{\frown}{HJI} $
- j) $ \overset{\frown}{HL} $
- k) $ \angle HKI $
- l) $ \angle HJI $

Problem 2: Match the part of the circle with the term

Given a second diagram:

```
G
/ \
/ \
H-----K
| |
| |
M-----L
\ /
J
```

Wait — actually, based on your image description, the second diagram shows:

- Circle with center $ J $
- Points: $ G, H, K, M, L, N $
- Line $ GH $ is horizontal through the top
- Line $ ML $ is a diagonal secant
- Line $ NM $ is a tangent touching at $ M $
- $ JK $ is a radius
- $ GH $ is a diameter? Wait — let's analyze carefully.

Looking at the second diagram:

- $ J $ is the center
- $ K $ is on the circle → so $ JK $ is a radius
- $ GH $ is a horizontal line passing through $ H $ and $ G $, both on the circle, and passing through the center $ J $? Wait — if $ H $ and $ G $ are endpoints and $ J $ lies on $ GH $, then $ GH $ is a diameter
- $ MH $ is a chord
- $ NM $ is a line touching the circle only at $ M $ → tangent
- $ M $ is the point of tangency
- $ GH $ is a straight line passing through the circle at $ G $ and $ H $ → secant, but since it goes through the center, it's also a diameter

Now match:

| Number | Label | Term |
|--------|-------|------|
| 2. | $ GH $ | This is a line segment between $ G $ and $ H $, both on the circle, and passing through the center → Diameter → C |
| 3. | $ M $ | This is a point where the tangent touches the circle → Point of tangency → E |
| 4. | $ MJ $ | $ M $ is on circle, $ J $ is center → this is a radius → D |
| 5. | $ J $ | This is the center of the circle → A |
| 6. | $ MH $ | A segment from $ M $ to $ H $, both on the circle → Chord → B |
| 7. | $ \overleftrightarrow{GH} $ | This is the entire line passing through $ G $ and $ H $, extending beyond → Secant (a line that intersects circle at two points) → F |

✔ Answers for Problem 2:
- 2. $ GH $ → C. Diameter
- 3. $ M $ → E. Point of tangency
- 4. $ MJ $ → D. Radius
- 5. $ J $ → A. Center
- 6. $ MH $ → B. Chord
- 7. $ \overleftrightarrow{GH} $ → F. Secant

Problem 3: Identifying Terms – Name the term that best describes the given line, segment, or point

Third diagram:
```
G
/
/
H
/ \
/ \
F-----B
\ /
\ /
A
|
C
|
D
```

Points:
- $ A $ is the center (marked with a dot)
- $ AB $, $ AC $, $ AD $, $ AE $, etc. are likely radii
- $ CD $ is a line segment
- $ FG $ is a line
- $ EC $ is a segment
- $ AB $ is a segment
- $ H $ is a point
- $ A $ is a point

Let’s go one by one.

#### 21. $ CD $
- $ C $ and $ D $ are on the circle
- $ CD $ connects two points on the circle
- Does not pass through center → Chord

✔ Answer: Chord

#### 22. $ FG $
- $ F $ and $ G $ are outside and on the circle
- The line passes through the circle at $ H $ and $ G $
- So it intersects the circle at two points → Secant

✔ Answer: Secant

#### 23. $ EC $
- $ E $ is outside, $ C $ is on the circle
- But wait — $ EC $ goes from $ E $ to $ C $, and $ C $ is on the circle
- If $ EC $ touches the circle at only one point, it might be tangent?
- But we see $ EC $ appears to pass through the circle at $ C $ and possibly another point?

Wait — looking at the diagram:
- $ E $ is outside
- $ C $ is on the circle
- $ EC $ seems to be a radius? No — $ A $ is the center.
- Actually, $ EC $ may be a chord? But $ E $ is not on the circle.

Wait — let's clarify:

In the diagram:
- $ A $ is center
- $ B, C, D $ are on the circle
- $ E $ is on the circle? Or outside?

Looking at the diagram again: $ E $ is on the left side, connected to $ F $ and $ H $, and $ H $ is on the circle.

Actually, from the diagram:
- $ F $ is outside
- $ G $ is outside
- $ H $ is on the circle
- $ E $ is on the circle
- $ C $ is on the circle

So $ EC $ is a segment from $ E $ to $ C $, both on the circle → Chord

✔ Answer: Chord

Wait — but $ EC $ is drawn from $ E $ to $ C $, both on the circle → yes, chord

But let’s double-check: Is $ E $ on the circle?

Yes — because $ EC $ is drawn from $ E $ to $ C $, and $ C $ is on the circle, and $ E $ appears to be on the circle too.

So $ EC $ is a chord

✔ Answer: Chord

#### 24. $ AB $
- $ A $ is center
- $ B $ is on the circle
- So $ AB $ is a radius

✔ Answer: Radius

#### 25. $ H $
- $ H $ is a point where the line $ FG $ touches the circle
- But does it touch at only one point? Yes — $ H $ is the point of intersection
- Since $ FG $ is a secant, it intersects at two points: $ H $ and $ G $? Wait — $ G $ is outside?

Wait — $ G $ is outside, $ H $ is on the circle → so $ FG $ enters at $ H $, exits at $ G $? That doesn’t make sense.

Wait — better interpretation:

- $ F $ is outside
- $ H $ is on the circle
- $ G $ is outside
- So $ FG $ passes through the circle at $ H $ → but only one point?

No — unless it’s tangent.

But $ FG $ appears to pass through $ H $ and then go out — but only one point of contact?

Wait — maybe $ H $ is the point of tangency?

Yes — if $ FG $ touches the circle at only $ H $, then it’s a tangent, and $ H $ is the point of tangency

But earlier we said $ FG $ is a secant — contradiction?

Wait — let’s look at the labels.

From the diagram:
- $ F $ is outside
- $ H $ is on the circle
- $ G $ is outside
- $ FG $ is a straight line that just touches the circle at $ H $

So $ FG $ is a tangent, and $ H $ is the point of tangency

Therefore, $ H $ is the point of tangency

✔ Answer: Point of tangency

#### 26. $ A $
- $ A $ is the center of the circle

✔ Answer: Center
