Arcs and Angles Flashcards
Circle
A set of all points in a plane that are equal at distance from the center
Radius
A segment whose endpoints are on the circle & any point on the cirlce(half the diameter)
Diameter
Chord that contains the center of the circle
Chord
Segment whose endpoints are on a circle
Secant
A line that intersects the circle in 2 points
Tangent
A line on the outside(edge) of cirlce that intersects at 1 point
Point of Tangency
The point the tangent line creates
Tangent Circles
Coplanar circles that intersect in one point
Conectric Circles
Coplanar Circles that have a common center
Circular Arc
Part of a circle
Minor Arc
Less than 180 degrees
Major
More than 180 degrees
Semi-Circle
Half of the cirlce (equal to 180 degrees)
Acr Addition Posulate
The measure of an arc formed y two adjancent ars is the sum of the measures of the two arcs (mABC=mAB+mBC)
Congruent Corresponding Chords Theorem
Inthe same circle, or in congruentcircles, twominor arcs are congruents if and only if their corresponding chords are congruent
