NAME ______DATE______PERIOD ______

Segments in CirclesAcircle consists of all points in a plane that are agiven distance, called the radius, from a given point called the center.A segment or line can intersect a circle in several ways.

• A segment with endpoints that are at the center and on thecircle is a radius.

• A segment with endpoints on the circle is a chord.

• A chord that passes through the circle’s center and made up ofcollinear radii is adiameter.

For a circle that has radius r and diameter d, the following are true

r = r = d = 2r

chord: ,

radius: , ,

Circles and Circumference

Circumference The circumference of a circle is the distance around the circle.

Circumference / For a circumference of C units and a diameter of d units of a radius of r units,
C = πd or C = 2πr

Example: Find the circumference of the circle tothe nearest hundredth.

C = 2πr Circumference formula

= 2π(13) r =13

= 26π Simplify.

≈ 81.68 Use a calculator.

The circumference is 26π or about 81.68 centimeters.

Measuring Angles and Arcs

Chapter 1011Glencoe Geometry

NAME ______DATE______PERIOD ______

Angles and Arcs Acentral angle is an anglewhose vertex is at the center of a circle and whosesides are radii. A central angle separates a circleinto two arcs, a major arc and a minor arc.

Here are some properties of central angles and arcs.

• The sum of the measures of the central angles ofa circle with no interior points in common is 360.

• The measure of a minor arc is less than 180 andequal to the measure of its central angle.

• The measure of a major arc is 360 minus themeasure of the minor arc.

• The measure of a semicircle is 180.

• Two minor arcs are congruent if and only if theircorresponding central angles are congruent.

• The measure of an arc formed by two adjacentarcs is the sum of the measures of the two arcs.(Arc Addition Postulate)

is a minor arc.

is a major arc.

∠GEF is a central angle.

m∠HEC+ m∠CEF+ m∠FEG+ m∠GEH= 360

m= m∠CEF

m= 360 – m

≅if and only if ∠CEF ≅∠FEG.

m+ m= m

Example:is a diameter of ⨀R. Find mand m.

ARB is a central angle and m∠ARB= 42, so m= 42.

Thus m= 360 – 42 or 318.

Measuring Angles and Arcs

Arc Length An arc is part of a circle and its length is a part of the circumference ofthe circle.

The length of arc ℓ can be found using the following equation:

ℓ = ⋅ 2πr

Example: Find the length of . Round to the nearest hundredth.

The length of arc , can be found using the following equation: = · 2πr

= · 2πr Arc Length Equation
