Central Angle : An Angle whose vertex is at the center of the circle ACB AB A Major Arc Minor Arc More than 180° Less than 180° P To name: use 3 letters C To name: use 2 letters B APB is a Central Angle
EDF Semicircle: An Arc that equals 180° To name: use 3 letters E D P F
THINGS TO KNOW AND REMEMBER ALWAYS A circle has 360 degrees A semicircle has 180 degrees Vertical Angles are Equal A D B C
measure of an arc = measure of central angle m AB m ACB m AE • EQA is a central angle. IfÐEQAis 80° then EA = 80° A E = 96° 96 Q B 264° = C 84° =
