7-6 Circle and Arcs Geometry
Finding circumference and arc length • The circumference of a circle is the distance around the circle. • For all circles, the ratio of the circumference to the diameter is the same. This ratio is known as or pi.
The circumference C of a circle is C = d or C = 2r, where d is the diameter of the circle and r is the radius of the circle. Theorem 11.6: Circumference of a Circle
Ex. 1: Using circumference • Find (a) the circumference of a circle with radius 6 centimeters and (b) the radius of a circle with circumference 31 meters. Round decimal answers to two decimal places.
C = 2r = 2 • • 6 = 12 37.70 So, the circumference is about 37.70 cm. C = 2r 31 = 2r 31 = r 4.93 r So, the radius is about 4.93 cm. Solution: b. a. 2
Arcs Arc- part of a circle Semicircle- half of the circle Minor arc- smaller than a semicircle Major arc- greater than a semicircle

Arc Length Theorem • The length of an arc of a circle is the product of the ratio, measure of the arc 360 and the circumference of a circle. r Arc length of m AB AB = • 2r 360°
The length of a semicircle is half the circumference, and the length of a 90° arc is one quarter of the circumference. More . . . ½ • 2r r ¼ • 2r
Ex. 2: Finding Arc Lengths • Find the length of each arc. a. b. c. 50° 100° 50°
• 2(5) a. Arc length of AB = 50° 360° Ex. 2: Finding Arc Lengths • Find the length of each arc. # of ° a. • 2r a. Arc length of AB = 360° 50° 4.36 centimeters
Ex. 2: Finding Arc Lengths • Find the length of each arc. # of ° b. • 2r b. Arc length of CD = 360° 50° 50° • 2(7) b. Arc length of CD = 360° 6.11 centimeters
Ex. 2: Finding Arc Lengths • Find the length of each arc. # of ° c. • 2r c. Arc length of EF = 360° 100° 100° • 2(7) c. Arc length of EF = 360° 12.22 centimeters In parts (a) and (b) in Example 2, note that the arcs have the same measure but different lengths because the circumferences of the circles are not equal.
Tire Revolutions: Tires from two different automobiles are shown on the next slide. How many revolutions does each tire make while traveling 100 feet? Round decimal answers to one decimal place. Ex. 4: Comparing Circumferences
Reminder: C = d or 2r. Tire A has a diameter of 14 + 2(5.1), or 24.2 inches. Its circumference is (24.2), or about 76.03 inches. Ex. 4: Comparing Circumferences
Reminder: C = d or 2r. Tire B has a diameter of 15 + 2(5.25), or 25.5 inches. Its circumference is (25.5), or about 80.11 inches. Ex. 4: Comparing Circumferences
Ex. 4: Comparing Circumferences • Divide the distance traveled by the tire circumference to find the number of revolutions made. First, convert 100 feet to 1200 inches. 100 ft. 1200 in. TIRE A: TIRE B: 100 ft. 1200 in. = = 76.03 in. 76.03 in. 80.11 in. 80.11 in. 15.8 revolutions 15.0 revolutions
Ex. 5: Finding Arc Length • Track. The track shown has six lanes. Each lane is 1.25 meters wide. There is 180° arc at the end of each track. The radii for the arcs in the first two lanes are given. • Find the distance around Lane 1. • Find the distance around Lane 2.
Find the distance around Lane 1. The track is made up of two semicircles and two straight sections with length s. To find the total distance around each lane, find the sum of the lengths of each part. Round decimal answers to one decimal place. Ex. 5: Finding Arc Length
Distance = 2s + 2r1 = 2(108.9) + 2(29.00) 400.0 meters Distance = 2s + 2r2 = 2(108.9) + 2(30.25) 407.9 meters Ex. 5: Lane 1 Ex. 5: Lane 2
