In the diagram, PQ, FGJK, and mJK= 80o. Find mFG Because FGand JKare congruent chords in congruent circles, the corresponding minor arcs FGand JKare congruent. So, mFG = mJK = 80o. EXAMPLE 1 Use congruent chords to find an arc measure SOLUTION
Use the diagram of D. 1. If mAB = 110°, find mBC Because ABand BCare congruent chords in the same circle, the corresponding minor arcs ABand BCare congruent. So, mBC = mAB = 110o. for Example 1 GUIDED PRACTICE SOLUTION
Use the diagram of D. 2. If mAC = 150°, find mAB for Example 1 GUIDED PRACTICE
ANSWER And, mBC + mAB + mAC = 360° So, 2 mAB + mAC = 360° Because ABand BCare congruent chords in the same circle, the corresponding minor arcs ABand BCare congruent. So, mBC = mAB 2 mAB +150° = 360° 2 mAB = 360 – 150 2 mAB = 210 mAB = 105° mAB = 105° for Example 1 GUIDED PRACTICE SOLUTION Substitute Subtract Simplify
