C Parts of a Circle Circle – set of all points _________ from a given point called the _____ of the circle. equidistant C center Symbol:
CHORD: A segment whose endpoints are on the circle
DIAMETER: Diameter Distance across the circle through its center P Also known as the longest chord.
Radius RADIUS: Distance from the center to point on circle P
D = 24 12 r = 4.5 9
Q R P S T Use P to determine whether each statement is true or false.
Secant Line: intersects the circle at exactly TWO points SECANT sounds like second
Tangent Line: a LINE that intersects the circle exactly ONE time Point of Tangency – where the tangent line intersects the circle. Forms a 90°angle
Name the term that best describes the line/segment. Secant Radius Diameter Chord Tangent
THINGS TO KNOW AND REMEMBER ALWAYS A circle has 360 degrees A semicircle has 180 degrees Vertical Angles are Equal Linear Pairs are Supplementary
Central Angle : vertex is at the center of the circle A P C B APB is a Central Angle
Case I:Vertex is AT the center A P C B
Central Angle : vertex is at the center of the circle ACB AB A Minor Arc Major Arc Less than 180° More than 180° P C B Need 2 letters to name it. Need 3 letters to name it.
EDF Semicircle: An Arc that equals 180° To name: use 3 letters D E P Touches a diameter. F
measure of an arc = measure of central angle m AB m ACB m AE A EB is a diameter. E 96 Q = 96° B C = 264° = 2x + 14 Find x. x = 35
