Shown below is a circle with multiple chords. One of the chords is the diameter of the circle.

Find the measure of the angle subtended by a arc at the circumference of the circle. Show your work and give valid reasons.
Ramit drew two circles of different radii. Each of them had an arc that subtended an equal angle at the centre.
He said, "Both arcs are of the same length".
i) Is Ramit right?
ii) If both radii and angles subtended by the two arcs are different, can the arc lengths be the same?
A circle has radius 5 cm. Three chords of lengths 6 cm, 8 cm and 10 cm are drawn.
