Properties of Circles

Read each of the following statements very carefully.

Just one word could change its meaning.
Then, identify the statement as true or false.
Place a T in the  if the statement is true. Place an F in the  if the statement
is false and then change the underlined word or phrase to make it true.

 1. A circle is a set of points in space at a given distance from a given point.

 2. A diameter is a segment connecting any point on the circle and the center point.

 3. A chord is a segment connecting any two points on a circle.

 4. A secant is a line, in the plane of a circle, that intersects the circle in exactly one point.

 5. The measure of a secant-tangent angle is equal to twice the measure of its intercepted arc.
.

 6. Two circles are congruent if they have the same center.

 7. The ratio of a circle’s diameter to circumference is better known as .

 8. The opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral are congruent.

 Fill in the blank with a word or phrase to make each of the following statements true.

9. A tangent segment to a circle, at the point of tangency, is ________________________ to the

radius at the point of tangency.

10. Every angle inscribed in a semicircle is a(n) ____________________ .

11. The length of an arc is equal to the ________________ of the arc divided by 360°,

times the _____________________ of the circle.
