Circle Theorems QP

1. The document contains 10 multi-part math problems involving angles and circles. The problems require applying properties of circles such as angles at the circumference being equal to angles in the alternate segment, angles in the same segment being supplementary, and tangents to a circle from an external point being equal in measure. Reasons for each step must be provided.
