A Tangent only touches one point on a circle.


'; explain[1] = '#2

After drawing a perpendicular radius through a chord, we have bisected it. So there are 2 segements but both are the same length so there is only 1 length.


'; explain[2] = '#3

It is possible to have congruent arcs.


'; explain[3] = '#4

An inscribed angle does not have curved lines. It has straight lines but the vertex point of the angle touches one point along the edge of the circle.


'; explain[4] = '#5

3.14 is an approximation of PI.


'; explain[5] = '#6

Triangles can be inscribed in a circle. Each corner touches one point along the edge of the circle.


'; explain[6] = '#7

Right triangles can be inscribed in a circle.


'; explain[7] = '#8

Chords very rarely go through the center. So it is not a requirement.


'; explain[8] = '#9

Finding the length of the chord requires more than just knowing the radius.


'; explain[9] = '#10

No. Since the circles are different sizes, it will create the circle with the longer radius to have a larger chord.
