Let's go through the problems in the image and solve each of them one by one. I'll provide the solutions and the reasoning behind each answer.

Problem 1

• Diagram description: You are given a circle with center $C$ and a line segment $AB$ that may or may not be tangent to the circle at $C$.
• Answer and reasoning: To determine if $AB$ is tangent to the circle at $C$, we need to check if $AB$ is perpendicular to the radius $BC$ at the point of contact $C$. In this case, if the line $AB$ meets the circle at $C$ and is perpendicular to the radius, then it is tangent. Otherwise, it is not.

If the given angle between $AB$ and $BC$ is 90 degrees, then $AB$ is tangent.

Problem 2

• Diagram description: You are given a circle, and a line segment $AB$ is drawn from point $A$ to point $B$, passing through the circle's center at point $C$.
• Answer and reasoning: Since $AB$ passes through the center $C$, it is a diameter of the circle. A line passing through the center is not tangent to the circle because a tangent touches the circle at exactly one point, and here the line goes through multiple points.

Problem 3

• Diagram description: A circle with a radius of 7 and a tangent line $AB$ intersecting the circle at $C$.
• Answer and reasoning: For the line $AB$ to be tangent to the circle at point $C$, the radius $BC$ must be perpendicular to $AB$. If we have the lengths of the segments and the relationship between the geometry, we can use the Pythagorean theorem or properties of tangents to confirm that $AB$ is tangent.

Problem 4

• Diagram description: A circle with a tangent line and segments $AB$, $BC$, and $AC$.
• Answer and reasoning: If the line segments meet at a point on the circle, we apply the tangent-secant theorem, which states that the square of the length of the tangent segment $AB$ is equal to the product of the length of the secant $AC$ and the length of the external part of the secant. Using the formula $AB^2 = AC \times BC$, we can calculate the length of the tangent.

Problem 5

• Diagram description: A circle with a radius and tangents forming a right triangle.
• Answer and reasoning: To solve for $x$, we can use the Pythagorean theorem or any other necessary geometric theorem depending on the exact relationships between the lines and the circle.

Problem 6

• Diagram description: A circle with radius and a line segment forming part of a right triangle.
• Answer and reasoning: Again, apply the Pythagorean theorem if applicable to find the missing values.

Problem 7-11

These problems involve more algebraic manipulation and geometric analysis, including using tangents and properties of polygons. Some will require solving quadratic equations or applying perimeter formulas to polygons.
