PA and PB Are Tangents To The Circle.: S5 IAL Mathematics Properties of Circles - Class Exercise 5

This document provides 8 practice problems on properties of circles for a math class. The problems cover topics like calculating angles in circles using tangents, chords, diameters, and intersecting lines. Students are asked to use properties of circles to find missing lengths and angle measures. Reasoning is required for some answers. The final problem asks students to find the measure of an angle given another angle measure and to explain each step of their working.
