Definition
Central angle an angle whose vertex is the center of a circle. central angle

Definitions
Minor arc Part of a circle that measures less than 180 Major arc Part of a circle that measures between 180 and 360. Semicircle An arc whose endpoints are the endpoints of a diameter of the circle. Note : major arcs and semicircles are named with three points and minor arcs are named with two points

major arc: ABD

semicircle: BAD

Definitions
Measure of a minor arc the measure of its central angle Measure of a major arc the difference between 360 and the measure of its associated minor arc.

Checkpoint 1
Find the measure of each arc.

a. LM

70 360 - 70 = 290

70

b. MNL

c. LMN

180

Arc Addition Postulate

The measure of an arc formed by two adjacent arcs is the sum of the measures of the two arcs.
A C

mABC = mAB + mBC

Definition
Congruent arcs two arcs of the same circle or of congruent circles that have the same measure

Checkpoint 2
Find the measures of the red arcs. Are the arcs congruent?
A C
41 41

D E

mAC = mDE = 41 Since the arcs are in the same circle, they are congruent!

Checkpoint 3
Find the measures of the red arcs. Are the arcs congruent?

A D
81

E C
mDE = mAC = 81 However, since the arcs are not of the same circle or congruent circles, they are NOT congruent!

Arcs and Chords Theorem

In the same circle, or in congruent circles, two minor arcs are congruent if and only if their corresponding A chords are congruent.

B
AB BC if and only if AB BC

Perpendicular Diameter Theorem

If a diameter of a circle is perpendicular to a chord, then the diameter bisects the chord and its arc.

F
DE EF, DG FG

E G D

Perpendicular Diameter Converse

If one chord is a perpendicular bisector of another chord, then the first chord is a diameter.
J M

K L
JK is a diameter of the circle.

Checkpoint 4
B
Find mBC.
(3x + 11) (2x + 48)

3x + 11 = 2x + 48

x = 37

A D C

mBC = 2(37) + 48
mBC = 122

Congruent Chords Theorem

In the same circle, or in congruent circles, two chords are congruent if and only if they are equidistant from the center. C
G
AB CD if and only if EF EG.
