1. **Determine the angle \(\theta\) at which the tangent line is drawn.**
Given the tangent line at point A and chord AB, the angle between the tangent and chord equals the measure of the inscribed arc opposite the chord.
**Formula:**
$$\theta = \text{measure of the intercepted arc}\n$$
From the figure, if the arc opposite the chord is 53.13°, then \(\theta = 53.13^\circ\).
**Answer:** A. 53.13°
2. **Find the measure of the minor arc AB given the major arc AB is 286°.**
The total circle is 360°, so:
$$\text{minor arc} = 360^\circ - 286^\circ = 74^\circ$$
**Answer:** A. 74°
3. **Find the length of the chord subtending a 40° angle at the center with radius 7 cm.**
**Formula for chord length:**
$$c = 2r \sin\left(\frac{\theta}{2}\right)$$
Calculate:
$$c = 2 \times 7 \times \sin\left(\frac{40^\circ}{2}\right) = 14 \times \sin(20^\circ)$$
Using \(\sin(20^\circ) \approx 0.3420\):
$$c \approx 14 \times 0.3420 = 4.788$$
**Answer:** A. 4.78 cm
4. **Largest isosceles triangle inscribed in a circle has a central angle of:**
The largest isosceles triangle is equilateral, so each central angle is:
$$\frac{360^\circ}{3} = 120^\circ$$
**Answer:** B. 120°
5. **Find the circumference of a circle with diameter 18 cm.**
**Formula:**
$$C = \pi d$$
Calculate:
$$C = \pi \times 18 \approx 3.1416 \times 18 = 56.5487$$
**Answer:** B. 56.52 cm
6. **Find angle \(x\) if intercepted arc measures 148°.**
The angle formed by the intercepted arc at the circumference is half the arc:
$$x = \frac{148^\circ}{2} = 74^\circ$$
**Answer:** A. 74°
7. **Radius perpendicular to tangent line at point of tangency forms what angle?**
By definition, radius is perpendicular to tangent at point of tangency:
$$\text{angle} = 90^\circ$$
**Answer:** A. 90°
8. **Angle subtended by a diameter at the circumference is:**
By Thales' theorem, angle subtended by diameter is a right angle:
$$90^\circ$$
**Answer:** B. 90°
