Parts of a Circle
A. Chord
B. Arc
C. Secant line
D. Tangent line
E. diameter
F. Radius

- Circumference > 2πr

- Area > πr2
- Radius > ½ D
- Diameter > 2r

Degrees v.s Radians

- Radians > Distance you rotated when you rotated the distance of the radius
π radians = ½ of a circle
1 radian ≈ ⅙ of a circle
- Another measure unit > can measure length of arcs
Degree = (180°/π)• radians
Radian = (π/180°) • degrees
Trig Ratios
Sin > Opposite / Hypotenuse
Cos >Adjacent/ Hypotenuse
Tan > Opposite / Adjacent

Law of Sines
Sin A/a = Sin B/b = Sin C/c

Law of Cosines
C2= a2 + b2 - 2ab(Cosc)

Unit Circle

- X Coordinate > Sine

- Y Coordinate > Cosine
- Tan > Y/X

Triangle Inequality theorem

- difference < third side < sum
- Used to determine if a triangle “works”
- Ex: 3,7,15 (3+7= 10) not larger than 15, doesn’t work

Pythagorean Theorem
a2 + b2 = c2

determining type of triangle ..

a2 + b2 = c2 > Right triangle
a2 + b2 < c2 > Obtuse Triangle
a2 + b2 > c2 > Acute Triangle
Relationships between inscribed angles, central angles, and subtended arcs
(a)Inscribed angle > the angle formed in the interior of a circle when two chords
intersect on the circle
(b)Central angle > an angle with its vertex at the center of a circle, with its sides
containing two radii of the circle
(c)Subtended arcs > an angle is subtended by an arc, line segment or any other
section of a curve when its two rays pass through the endpoints of that arc, line
segment or curve section

Relation: The measure of the inscribed angle is half the measure of the arc it
intercepts. If a central angle and an inscribed angle intercept the same arc, then the
central angle is double the inscribed angle, and the inscribed angle is half the central
angle.
