What is a circle?
• A circle is a set of all points in a
plane which are a given distance r
from a given point on the plane.
• the fixed point A is called the
center of the circle, and r is the
radius.
• A circle is named after its center.
Arc
- Part of a circle named by its endpoints

Radius
- Line segment whose endpoints are the

BASIC PARTS center of a center of a circle and any


point on a circle

OF THE CIRCLE Diameter


- Line segment that passes through the
center of a circle, and whose endpoint lie
in the circle
Chord
- A straight line segment whose
endpoints both lie on the circle.
CHORD Is a segment joining two points on a circle

A is the center of the circle.

Name the chord in the figure


ARC An arc is a part of the circle that is unbroken and
consists of two endpoints

Semicircle Arc that measures exactly 180°

Minor arc An arc that is smaller than a semicircle or


measures less than 180°
Major arc • An arc whose measure is greater than 180° or
bigger than a semicircle.
Name 4 minor arcs.

Name 3 major arcs.


CENTRAL ANGLE Is an angle whose vertex is the CENTER of the
circle The side are the two radii

CENTRAL ANGLE Is an angle whose vertex is the CENTER of the
circle The side are the two radii
The measure of a central angle is equal
to the measure of the intercepted arc.
SUM OF CENTRAL ANGLES
The sum of the measures of central angles of a circle with no interior points in
common is 360°
INSCRIBED ANGLES
An inscribed angle is an angle whose vertex is on a circle and
whose sides contain chords.

INSCRIBED ANGLES
An inscribed angle is an angle whose vertex is on a circle and
whose sides contain chords.
An measurement of an inscribed angle is equal to the ½ the
measure of the intercepted arc.
i a The degree measure
of a semicircle is
i a 180°
