2nd Quarter
GRADE 10
Competency 7: The learner proves theorems on secants, tangents, and segments.

Given: KL is tangent to ⨀ O at K.
NL is a secant that passes through ⨀ O at M and N. ∙ K
P ∙
KL and NL intersect at the exterior point L. O∙ L

Prove: m∠KLN=½│mNPK-mMK│ c M
N
To prove: Draw KM, MO and KO
Let m∠MKL= x so that m∠MKO=90−x and m∠KMO=90−x .
I. The measure of an inscribed angle is one-half the measure of its intercepted arc.
II. The measure of the exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the measures of
its remote interior angles.
III. The measure of a central angle is equal to the measure of its intercepted arc.
1. Which statement will best fit as reason for m ∠NMK=½(NPK)
A. I only B. II only C. III only D. none of the above

Competency 8: The learner solves problem on circles.

1. You are in a hot air balloon and your eye level is 60 meters over the ocean. Suppose your
line of sight is tangent to the radius of the earth like the illustration shown below. How far
away is the farthest point you can see over the ocean if the radius of the earth is
approximately 6378 kilometers?

a. 27km b. 30km c. 33km d. 35km

Competency 9: The learners applies the distance formula to prove some geometric
properties.
1. Along Aguinaldo Highway are the houses of four grade 10 students namely Jose, Emilio, Gabriella and
Antonio. Their teacher’s house is some blocks away from Gabriella’s house as illustrated. What is the
distance between their teacher’s house and Gabriella’s house?
 a. 4 units b. 3 units c. 2 units d. 1 unit

Competency 10: The learner illustrates the center-radius form of the equation of a
circle.

1. Which of the following illustrates the circle of the form x 2+ y 2=9?

A. B. C. D.
Competency 11: The learner determines the center and radius of a circle given its
equation and vice versa.
1. A radio signal can transmit messages up to a distance of 3km. If the radio signal’s origin is located at a point
whose coordinates are a (4,9), what is the equation of the circle that defines the boundary up to which the
messages can be transmitted?
a. x 2+ y 2−8 x−18 y +88=0
b. x 2+ y 2−8 x−18 y +80=0
c. x 2+ y 3−8 x−18 y +88=0
d. x 3+ y 2−8 x−18 y +88=0

Competency 12: The learner graphs and solves problems involving circles and other
geometric figures on the coordinate plane.
1. The Provincial Disaster and Risk Reduction Management Committee (PDRRMC) advised
the residents living within the 10 km radius critical area to evacuate due to eminent eruption
of volcano. On the map that is drawn on the coordinate plane, the coordinates
corresponding to the location of the volcano is ( 3,4 ). Suppose you live at point (11, 6).
Would you follow the advice of the PDRRMC? Why?

a. x 2+ y 2−6 x−8 y−75=0

b. x 2+ y 3−6 x−8 y−75=0
3 2
c. x + y −6 x−8 y−75=0
d. x 2+ y 2−6 x−8 y−70=0
