Module1 1

This document defines and describes basic parts of a circle including the radius, diameter, chord, arc, semicircle, minor arc, major arc, and central angle. It notes that a circle is defined as all points in a plane that are a given distance from a fixed center point, and that a central angle's measure is equal to the measure of the intercepted arc. The sum of measures of central angles of a full circle is always 360 degrees.

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 NOT A


Central angle
(of a circle) Central angle
(of a circle)
(of a circle)
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°
