Correct Answer: 90°
Solution : Let the radius of the circle be R cm. According to the concept, R = 10 cm So, diameter = 2 × R = 2 × 10 = 20 cm According to the question, The chord has a length of 20 cm. A diameter divides the circle into two semi-circles, each having an angle of 90° at the circumference of the circle. So, the angle made by the chord (diameter in this case) at the circumference of the circle is 90°. Hence, the correct answer is 90°.
