A circle has a diameter AB. Point C lies on the circumference of the circle. If \(\angle ABC = 35^\circ\), calculate the size of \(\angle BAC\).

Question 2

1 mark

Points P, Q, and R lie on a circle with center O. If the angle \(\angle PQR = 115^\circ\), calculate the size of the minor angle \(\angle POR\).

Question 3

1 mark

Points A, B, and C lie on the circumference of a circle with center O. If the angle \(\angle ABC = 110^\circ\), calculate the reflex angle \(\angle AOC\).

Question 4

1 mark

In a circle, PT is a tangent at point T. A and B are points on the circumference such that AB is a chord. If \(\angle BTP = 48^\circ\) and \(\angle ABT = 72^\circ\), calculate the size of \(\angle BAT\).

Question 5

3 marks

In the diagram, points A, B, and C lie on the circumference of a circle with center O. Line AT is a tangent to the circle at point A. If \( \angle OAB = 25^\circ \), calculate the size of angle \( \angle BAT \).

Write your answer out first, then check it against the worked solution.

Question 6

5 marks

In the circle shown, the chord AB makes an angle of \( 58^\circ \) with the tangent to the circle at point A. Point C is located on the major arc AB. Using the appropriate circle theorem, find the size of angle \( \angle ACB \).

Write your answer out first, then check it against the worked solution.

Question 7

6 marks

Points A, B, and C lie on a circle with center O. AB is a diameter of the circle. A tangent is drawn at point C, and a point T lies on this tangent. If \(\angle ABC = 32^\circ\), calculate the size of the angle between the tangent CT and the chord AC.

Write your answer out first, then check it against the worked solution.

Question 8

6 marks

In the diagram, A, B, C, and D are points on the circumference of a circle with centre O.
AC is a diameter of the circle and AD is parallel to BC.
The tangent to the circle at point C meets the line AB extended at point T.

(a) If \(\angle ACB = 32^\circ\), find the size of \(\angle BAC\), giving a geometric reason for your answer. [2]
(b) Find the size of \(\angle ATC\). [2]
(c) Determine the size of the obtuse angle \(\angle ADC\) and explain your reasoning. [2]
