Step-by-step solution for: Geometry Chapter 10 Parts of a Circle Worksheet 12, Give an example of each circle part using the diagram below:, a) Center: b) Radius: Chord; Diameter; 2) Secant; Tangent: 9) Point of Tangency:, h) ...
Let's solve the problem step by step using the diagram and the worksheet provided.
---
We are given a circle with labeled points:
- Points on the circle: $ J, I, L, H $
- Center: $ K $
- External point: $ G $
- Lines: $ GH $, $ GI $, $ JL $, $ KI $, $ KJ $, etc.
Let’s go through each part:
---
#### a) Center:
The center is the point at the middle of the circle.
✔ Answer: $ K $
---
#### b) Radius:
A radius is a segment from the center to any point on the circle.
Examples: $ KJ $, $ KI $, $ KL $, $ KH $
✔ Answer: $ KJ $ (or any of the others)
---
#### c) Chord:
A chord is a segment whose endpoints lie on the circle.
Examples: $ JL $, $ HI $, $ IL $, etc.
✔ Answer: $ JL $
---
#### d) Diameter:
A diameter is a chord that passes through the center. It is twice the length of the radius.
In the diagram, $ JL $ does not pass through $ K $, but $ IL $ or $ HI $ might not either. Wait — look carefully.
Actually, there is no clear diameter shown unless one of the chords goes through the center.
But we see that $ K $ is the center, and if $ I $ and $ L $ are endpoints of a line passing through $ K $, then $ IL $ would be a diameter.
Wait — in the diagram, $ K $ lies on segment $ IL $? Yes, since $ K $ is the center and $ I $ and $ L $ are on the circle, and $ K $ is between them — so $ IL $ is a diameter.
✔ Answer: $ IL $
---
#### e) Secant:
A secant is a line that intersects the circle at two points.
Line $ GH $ intersects the circle at $ H $ and $ J $. So $ GH $ is a secant.
✔ Answer: $ GH $
---
#### f) Tangent:
A tangent is a line that touches the circle at exactly one point.
Line $ GJ $ touches the circle only at $ J $.
✔ Answer: $ GJ $
---
#### g) Point of Tangency:
This is the point where the tangent touches the circle.
Since $ GJ $ is tangent at $ J $, the point of tangency is $ J $.
✔ Answer: $ J $
---
#### h) Minor Arc:
A minor arc is an arc less than 180°.
Example: $ \overset{\frown}{JL} $, $ \overset{\frown}{JI} $, $ \overset{\frown}{HL} $, etc.
✔ Answer: $ \overset{\frown}{JL} $
---
#### i) Major Arc:
A major arc is greater than 180°. We denote it with three letters.
Example: $ \overset{\frown}{JIL} $, $ \overset{\frown}{HJL} $, etc.
✔ Answer: $ \overset{\frown}{JIL} $
---
#### j) Semicircle:
A semicircle is an arc that is exactly half the circle (180°), formed by a diameter.
Since $ IL $ is a diameter, the arcs $ \overset{\frown}{IHL} $ or $ \overset{\frown}{IJL} $ could be semicircles. But we need to check which one is defined.
If $ IL $ is the diameter, then the semicircle could be $ \overset{\frown}{IHL} $ or $ \overset{\frown}{IJL} $. Since $ J $ and $ H $ are on the circle, and $ IL $ is the diameter, both arcs from $ I $ to $ L $ via $ J $ or $ H $ are semicircles.
But typically, we name it with three points. Let's assume $ \overset{\frown}{IJL} $ is the semicircle.
✔ Answer: $ \overset{\frown}{IJL} $ (or $ \overset{\frown}{IHL} $)
---
#### k) Central Angle:
A central angle has its vertex at the center and sides passing through two points on the circle.
Example: $ \angle IKJ $, $ \angle LKJ $, $ \angle HKJ $, etc.
✔ Answer: $ \angle IKJ $ (or any central angle)
---
#### l) Inscribed Angle:
An inscribed angle has its vertex on the circle and sides intersecting the circle.
Example: $ \angle IJL $ — vertex at $ J $, on the circle, and sides $ JI $ and $ JL $ going to other points on the circle.
✔ Answer: $ \angle IJL $
---

| b) Radius | $ KJ $ |
| c) Chord | $ JL $ |
| d) Diameter | $ IL $ |

> 2. GH
From earlier, $ GH $ is a secant because it intersects the circle at two points: $ H $ and $ J $.
So, GH → Secant
But the options are:
- A. Center
- B. Chord
Wait — this seems incomplete. The matching list only shows A and B, but we need more options.
Looking at the image:
It says:
2. GH
3. M
And choices:
A. Center
B. Chord
But “M” is not labeled in the diagram above — perhaps there’s a typo or missing image.
However, based on what we have:
- $ GH $ is a secant, not a chord (since it extends beyond the circle).
- But chord is only a segment *within* the circle.
So $ GH $ is not a chord; it's a secant.
But if only "Chord" is listed as an option, maybe they expect $ GH $ to be matched with something else?
Wait — perhaps the second diagram is different.
But in your image, below the first question, it says:
> Match the part of the circle with the term that best describes it.
> 2. GH
> 3. M
> A. Center
> B. Chord
But “M” is not visible in the diagram. Also, no other labels like “Center” or “Chord” are clearly marked.
Possibility: In the second diagram (which is partially cut off), there may be a point labeled $ M $, and $ GH $ is a line.
But from what we can see:
- $ GH $ is a straight line passing through the circle at $ H $ and $ J $ → secant
- But “secant” is not among the choices.
- “Chord” is a segment between two points on the circle, so $ HJ $ would be a chord, not $ GH $
So likely, GH should be matched with Secant, but it's not listed.
Unless the options are not fully shown.
Alternatively, maybe the question is asking to match:
- GH → Secant (but not listed)
- M → ? (maybe the center?)
But without seeing the full second diagram, we can't be certain.
However, based on standard geometry:
- $ GH $: Secant
- If $ M $ is the center, then $ M $ → Center
But again, $ M $ is not visible in the current diagram.
---
For Part 1, the answers are filled correctly as per the diagram.
For Part 2, assuming the options are limited:
- 2. GH → Secant (but not listed; possibly a typo)
- 3. M → Center (if M is the center)
But since the options are only:
- A. Center
- B. Chord
Then:
- If $ M $ is the center → A. Center
- If $ GH $ is a chord? No, it's a secant, not a chord.
So unless $ GH $ refers to the segment *inside* the circle ($ HJ $), but it's labeled $ GH $, which includes external part.
Therefore, likely:
- $ GH $ → Secant (but not in options)
- $ M $ → Center → A
But without full context, we can’t complete Part 2 confidently.

Problem 1: Give an example of each circle part using the diagram below.
We are given a circle with labeled points:
- Points on the circle: $ J, I, L, H $
- Center: $ K $
- External point: $ G $
- Lines: $ GH $, $ GI $, $ JL $, $ KI $, $ KJ $, etc.
Let’s go through each part:
---
#### a) Center:
The center is the point at the middle of the circle.
✔ Answer: $ K $
---
#### b) Radius:
A radius is a segment from the center to any point on the circle.
Examples: $ KJ $, $ KI $, $ KL $, $ KH $
✔ Answer: $ KJ $ (or any of the others)
---
#### c) Chord:
A chord is a segment whose endpoints lie on the circle.
Examples: $ JL $, $ HI $, $ IL $, etc.
✔ Answer: $ JL $
---
#### d) Diameter:
A diameter is a chord that passes through the center. It is twice the length of the radius.
In the diagram, $ JL $ does not pass through $ K $, but $ IL $ or $ HI $ might not either. Wait — look carefully.
Actually, there is no clear diameter shown unless one of the chords goes through the center.
But we see that $ K $ is the center, and if $ I $ and $ L $ are endpoints of a line passing through $ K $, then $ IL $ would be a diameter.
Wait — in the diagram, $ K $ lies on segment $ IL $? Yes, since $ K $ is the center and $ I $ and $ L $ are on the circle, and $ K $ is between them — so $ IL $ is a diameter.
✔ Answer: $ IL $
---
#### e) Secant:
A secant is a line that intersects the circle at two points.
Line $ GH $ intersects the circle at $ H $ and $ J $. So $ GH $ is a secant.
✔ Answer: $ GH $
---
#### f) Tangent:
A tangent is a line that touches the circle at exactly one point.
Line $ GJ $ touches the circle only at $ J $.
✔ Answer: $ GJ $
---
#### g) Point of Tangency:
This is the point where the tangent touches the circle.
Since $ GJ $ is tangent at $ J $, the point of tangency is $ J $.
✔ Answer: $ J $
---
#### h) Minor Arc:
A minor arc is an arc less than 180°.
Example: $ \overset{\frown}{JL} $, $ \overset{\frown}{JI} $, $ \overset{\frown}{HL} $, etc.
✔ Answer: $ \overset{\frown}{JL} $
---
#### i) Major Arc:
A major arc is greater than 180°. We denote it with three letters.
Example: $ \overset{\frown}{JIL} $, $ \overset{\frown}{HJL} $, etc.
✔ Answer: $ \overset{\frown}{JIL} $
---
#### j) Semicircle:
A semicircle is an arc that is exactly half the circle (180°), formed by a diameter.
Since $ IL $ is a diameter, the arcs $ \overset{\frown}{IHL} $ or $ \overset{\frown}{IJL} $ could be semicircles. But we need to check which one is defined.
If $ IL $ is the diameter, then the semicircle could be $ \overset{\frown}{IHL} $ or $ \overset{\frown}{IJL} $. Since $ J $ and $ H $ are on the circle, and $ IL $ is the diameter, both arcs from $ I $ to $ L $ via $ J $ or $ H $ are semicircles.
But typically, we name it with three points. Let's assume $ \overset{\frown}{IJL} $ is the semicircle.
✔ Answer: $ \overset{\frown}{IJL} $ (or $ \overset{\frown}{IHL} $)
---
#### k) Central Angle:
A central angle has its vertex at the center and sides passing through two points on the circle.
Example: $ \angle IKJ $, $ \angle LKJ $, $ \angle HKJ $, etc.
✔ Answer: $ \angle IKJ $ (or any central angle)
---
#### l) Inscribed Angle:
An inscribed angle has its vertex on the circle and sides intersecting the circle.
Example: $ \angle IJL $ — vertex at $ J $, on the circle, and sides $ JI $ and $ JL $ going to other points on the circle.
✔ Answer: $ \angle IJL $

Part 2: Match the part of the circle with the term that best describes it.
> 2. GH
From earlier, $ GH $ is a secant because it intersects the circle at two points: $ H $ and $ J $.
So, GH → Secant
But the options are:
- A. Center
- B. Chord
Wait — this seems incomplete. The matching list only shows A and B, but we need more options.
Looking at the image:
It says:
2. GH
3. M
And choices:
A. Center
B. Chord
But “M” is not labeled in the diagram above — perhaps there’s a typo or missing image.
However, based on what we have:
- $ GH $ is a secant, not a chord (since it extends beyond the circle).
- But chord is only a segment *within* the circle.
So $ GH $ is not a chord; it's a secant.
But if only "Chord" is listed as an option, maybe they expect $ GH $ to be matched with something else?
Wait — perhaps the second diagram is different.
But in your image, below the first question, it says:

> A. Center
> B. Chord

Possibility: In the second diagram (which is partially cut off), there may be a point labeled $ M $, and $ GH $ is a line.
But from what we can see:
- $ GH $ is a straight line passing through the circle at $ H $ and $ J $ → secant
- But “secant” is not among the choices.
- “Chord” is a segment between two points on the circle, so $ HJ $ would be a chord, not $ GH $
So likely, GH should be matched with Secant, but it's not listed.
Unless the options are not fully shown.
Alternatively, maybe the question is asking to match:

✔ Conclusion:
For Part 1, the answers are filled correctly as per the diagram.
For Part 2, assuming the options are limited:
- 2. GH → Secant (but not listed; possibly a typo)
- 3. M → Center (if M is the center)
But since the options are only:
- A. Center

Then:
- If $ M $ is the center → A. Center
- If $ GH $ is a chord? No, it's a secant, not a chord.
So unless $ GH $ refers to the segment *inside* the circle ($ HJ $), but it's labeled $ GH $, which includes external part.
Therefore, likely:
- $ GH $ → Secant (but not in options)
- $ M $ → Center → A
But without full context, we can’t complete Part 2 confidently.
