Question

Which circle has a central angle that measures 40°?

Circle U is shown. Line segment Z X is a diameter. Line segment V X is a secant. Angle V X Z is 40 degrees.
Circle U is shown. Line segments U V and U Z are radii. Angle V U Z is 40 degrees.
Circle U is shown. Line segment Z V is a secant. Line segment Z X is a tangent. Angle X Z V is 40 degrees.
Circle U is shown. Line segments X V and X Z are secants. Angle V X Z is 40 degrees.

Answer 1

it is B

Explanation:

We need to find the circle that has a central angle that measures 40°.

In all options, the center of circle is U. It means central angle must be on center, i.e., U.

In option A,the angle VXZ is at point X which is not the center. So, angle VXZ is not a central angle.

In option B,the angle VUZ is at point U which is the center. So, angle VUZ is a central angle with measure 40°.

In option C,the angle XZV is at point Z which is not the center. So, angle XZV is not a central angle.

In option D,the angle VXZ is at point X which is not the center. So, angle VXZ is not a central angle.

Therefore, the correct option is B.

Answer 2

Option B.

Explanation:

We need to find the circle that has a central angle that measures 40°.

In all options, the center of circle is U. It means central angle must be on center, i.e., U.

In option A,the angle VXZ is at point X which is not the center. So, angle VXZ is not a central angle.

In option B,the angle VUZ is at point U which is the center. So, angle VUZ is a central angle with measure 40°.

In option C,the angle XZV is at point Z which is not the center. So, angle XZV is not a central angle.

In option D,the angle VXZ is at point X which is not the center. So, angle VXZ is not a central angle.

Therefore, the correct option is B.
