2nd Periodical Exam: MATH 10 Flashcards
A segment whose endpoints are the center of the circle
Radius
A segment with both endpoints on the circle
Chord
A chord containing the center of the circle
Diameter
An angle whose vertex is the center of a circle and whose sides intersect the circle
Central angle
In the same circle or in equal circles, two arcs are equal if and only if their central angles are equal
Arc-Central Angle Equal Theorem
In the same circle or in equal circles, equal arcs have equal chords
Arc-Chord Equal Theorem
In a circle, if a radius bisects a chord and its arc, then the radius is perpendicular to the chord
Radius Bisects Chord Theorem
If a diameter of a circle is perpendicular to a chord, then the diameter bisects the chord and its arc
Diameter Perpendicular to Chord Theorem
If a chord of a circle bisects a second chord and its arc, then the first chord is a diameter and is perpendicular to the second chord
Chord Bisects Arc Theorem
The distance around the circle
Circumference
The region consisting of all points in the plane of the circle whose distances from the center are LESS THAN THE RADIUS
Interior of a circle
The region consisting of all points in the plane of the circle whose distances from the center are GREATER THAN THE RADIUS
Exterior of a circle
Points in the plane of a the circle whose distances from the center are EQUAL TO THE RADIUS
Points on the circle
A straight line cutting a curve at two or more points
Secant
A plane curve at a given point is the straight line that “just touches” the curve at that point
Tangent
