 This chapter will be
separated into TWO tests.

1 st test – Sections 10.1-10.4

2 nd test – Sections 10.5-10.7
 Parts of a Circle
Circle F
F
F
center

Use the center to name a circle.

 Parts of a Circle

tangent chord
secant
diameter

radius

Segments & Lines

 Formulas
• Radius/diameter
radius = ½diameter
r=½d
diameter = 2(radius)
d = 2r
• Circumference
C = 2∏r or C = ∏d
 Types of Angles
Central angle
- Vertex is on the center.

Inscribed angle
- Vertex is on the circle.
 Types of Arcs
major arc
M
MNO
minor arc
P
MO
semicircle O N

MON
 Measure of Arcs & Angles
minor arc = its central angle
major arc = 360 - its central angle

68°
360 – 68 = 292 68°

292°
Measure of Arcs & Angles
minor arc = its central angle
major arc = 360 - its central angle
semicircle = 180

180°
 Measure of Arcs & Angles
minor arc = its central angle
major arc = 360 - its central angle
semicircle = 180
inscribed angle
= ½minor arc 34°
68°
