Answer 1

I can’t see the diagram you mean. Could you upload it or say where the points are located (is N the center of a circle, on the circle, or outside it? are NL and NM chords, tangents, or secants?)?

To help you decide, here are quick rules:

- Central angle: vertex at the center of the circle (N is the center).
- Inscribed angle: vertex on the circle, with both rays intercepting the circle (N on the circumference).
- Exterior angle: vertex outside the circle formed by two secants, a secant and a tangent, or two tangents (N is outside the circle).
- Circumscribed angle (often used for an angle formed by two tangents): vertex outside the circle where both sides are tangent to the circle.

Tell me where N is or upload the diagram and I’ll pick the correct choice.
