Circles Basic Questions

The document provides 20 questions about circle geometry concepts such as chords, tangents, radii, arcs, and angles. The questions involve calculating lengths, angles, areas, and ratios using properties of circles, including relationships between radii, chords, tangents, arcs, and angles formed by chords and radii. The questions require applying concepts such as perpendicular bisectors of chords, common tangents between circles, and properties of cyclic quadrilaterals.
