  1. Chapter 10:Area Section 10-6: Circles and Arcs

  2. Objectives: • To find the measures of central angles and arcs. • To find the circumference and arc length.

  3. Vocabulary • Circle • Center • Radius • Congruent Circles • Diameter • Central Angle • Semicircle • Minor Arc • Major Arc • Adjacent Arcs • Circumference • Pi • Concentric Circles • Arc Length • Congruent Arcs

  4. Circle • In a plane, a circle is the set of all points equidistance from a center point.

  5. Center • The center is the point used to name the circle.

  6. Radius • A radius is a segment that has one endpoint at the center and the other endpoint on the circle.

  7. Congruent Circles • Congruent circles have congruent radii.

  8. Diameter • A diameter is a segment that contains the center of a circle and has both endpoints on the circle.

  9. Central Angle • A central angle is an angle whose vertex is the center of the circle.

  10. Example • To learn how people really spend their time, a research firm studied the hour by hour activities of 3600 people. The participants were between 18 and 90 years old. Each participant was sent a 24-hour recording sheet every March for three years, from 2000-2002. The results are displayed in the chart. • What measure, in degrees, of the central angle is used for entertainment?

  11. Arc • An arc is part of a circle. • We have three types of arcs: • Semicircles-half a circle, exactly 180º • Minor Arcs- a minor arc is less than 180º • Major Arcs- a major arc is greater than 180º

  12. Identifying Arcs • Name all the minor arcs. • Name all semicircles. • Name all the major arcs.

  13. Adjacent Arcs • Adjacent arcs are arcs of the same circle that have exactly one point in common. • You can add the measures of adjacent arcs just like you can with adjacent angles.

  14. Postulate 10-1:“Arc Addition Postulate” • The measure of an arc formed by two adjacent arcs is the sum of the measures of the two arcs.

  15. Finding Measures of Arcs • Find the measure of the following arcs:

  16. Circumference • The circumference is the distance around the circle.

  17. Pi • p • The number pi is the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter.

  18. Theorem 10-9:“Circumference of a Circle” • The circumference of a circle is p times the diameter.

  19. Concentric Circles • Circles with the same center are concentric circles.

  20. Real World Connection • A car has a turning radius of 16.1 ft. The distance between the two front tires is 4.7 ft. In completing the outer turning circle, how much farther does a tire travel than a tire on the concentric inner circle?

  21. Arc Length • Arc length is a fraction of the circles circumference.

  22. Theorem 10-10:“Arc Length” • The length of an arc of a circle is the product of the ratio of the arc over 360º and the circumference of the circle.

  23. Finding Arc Length • Find the length of arc PQ. P Q

  24. Congruent Arcs • Congruent arcs are arcs that have the same measure and are in the same circle or in congruent circles.
