Circles Assignment

This document contains a mathematics assignment on circles with 14 multi-part questions divided into 4 sections (A, B, C, D). The questions cover topics such as tangents to a circle, angles related to circles, radii and diameters of circles, and geometric shapes involving circles. Some questions provide diagrams to accompany the problem statement. The final question involves a Ferris wheel diagram and asks to determine angle measures and the length of a tangent based on given information about the wheel's radius.

38 cm, PB = 27 cm and AD ⊥ CD, then calculate the length of CD.

SECTION D
15. A Ferris wheel (or a big wheel in the United Kingdom) is an amusement ride consisting
of a rotating upright wheel with multiple passenger-carrying components (commonly referred
to as passenger cars, cabins, tubs, capsules, gondolas, or pods) attached to the rim in such a
way that as the wheel turns, they are kept upright, usually by gravity.
After taking a ride in Ferris wheel, Aarti came out from the crowd and was observing her
friends who were enjoying the ride . She was curious about the different angles and measures
that the wheel will form. She forms the figure as given below.
