Plane Geometry: Practice Workbook with Answers. Volume 2: Circles, Chords, Secants, and Tangents

Main subject categories: • Elementary Geometry • Plane Euclidean Geometry

Learn and practice essential geometry skills. The answer to every problem, along with helpful notes, can be found at the back of the book. This volume focuses on fundamental concepts relating to circles, including chords, secants, tangents, and inscribed/circumscribed polygons. Topics include:

• radius, diameter, circumference, and area

• chords, secants, and tangents

• sectors vs. segments

• inscribed and circumscribed shapes

• the arc length formula

• degrees and radians

• inscribed angles

• Thales’s theorem

and an introduction to 3D objects, including the cube, prism, pyramid, sphere, cylinder, and cone
