Lesson 10.2 Arcs and Chords
central angle Arcs of Circles • Central Angle-angle whose vertex is the center of the circle.
minor arc Minor Arc • formed from a central angle less than 180°
major arc Major Arc • formed from a central angle that measures between 180 ° - 360 °
Semicircle • formed from an arc of 180 ° • Half circle! • Endpoints of an arc are endpoints of the diameter
Naming Arcs • How do we name minor arcs, major arcs, and semicircles??
Minor Arc: AB or BA Minor Arc • Named by the endpoints of the arc.
Major Arc: ACB or BCA Could we name this major arc BAC? Major Arc • Named by the endpoints of the arc and one point in between the arc
mABC = 180° Semicircle • Named by the endpoints of the diameter and one point in between the arc
Measuring Arcs • A Circle measures 360 °
m AB=95 ° 95° Measure of a Minor Arc • Measure of its central angle
95° mACB=360°– 95° = 265° Measure of a Major Arc • difference between 360° and measure of minor arc
What is the measure of BD? m BD=100 ° Arc Addition Postulate • Measure of an arc formed by two adjacent arcs is the sum of the measures of the two arcs.
AB is congruent to DC since their arc measures are the same. Congruent Arcs • Two arcs of the same circle or congruent circles are congruent arcs if they have the same measure.
Theorem 10.4 • Two minor arcs are congruent iff their corresponding chords are congruent. Chords are congruent
Example 1Solve for x 2x X+40
If DE = EF, then DG = GF Theorem 10.5 • If a diameter of a circle is perpendicular to a chord, then the diameter bisects the chord and its arc.
m DC = 40º Example. Find DC.
Since AB is perpendicular to CD, CD is the diameter. Theorem 10.6 • If one chord is a perpendicular bisector to another chord, then the first chord is a diameter.
Example. Solve for x. x = 7
Theorem 10.7 • Two chords are congruent iff they are equidistant from the center. Congruent Chords
Example. Solve for x. x = 15
