difference between
postulate and
theorem?
POSTULATE
A statement accepted true
without proof.
THEOREM
A statement which has been
proven true logical argument
called a rigorous proof.
PRACTICE EXERCISES

CONGRUENT CIRCLES
Congruent circles are circles with congruent radii.
EXAMPLES:
is a radius ⊙ Y.
is a radius ⊙ A.
⊙Y⊙A
CONGRUENT arcs
Congruent arcs are arcs of the same circle or of
congruent circles with equal measures.
EXAMPLES:
In ⊙ I,
if m = m,
then .
If ⊙I ≅⊙X and
m = m = m,
then
Theorems on
Central Angles,
Arcs, and Chords
Theorem 1
In a circle or in congruent circles, two minor arcs
are congruent if and only if their corresponding
central angles are congruent.
EXAMPLES:
If ⊙T ≅ ⊙ N
If ≅ then
arcAB ≅ arc OE
Theorem 3
In a circle, a diameter bisects a chord and an arc
with the same endpoints if and only if it is
perpendicular to the chord.
EXAMPLE:
In ⊙M, diameter QR
bisects chord ST and
and arcST since ⊥ .
Given that circles G and P are congruent, answer the
following questions.
