Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Only one such circle can be drawn. The diameter of the 10" circle will be a radius of the semicircle. In order for the 10" circle to be wholly contained, the flat side of the semicircle must be tangent to the 10" circle. There is only one position in the figure where that can happen. (see attached).
