Chapter 10 Flashcards
Center
part of a circle that all points are equidistant from
Central Angle
angle with vertex in center of circle
chord
segment with endpoints on the circle
circle
set of all points equidistant from a given point
circumference
distance around the circle
diameter
chord that passes through center and is made of collinear radii
pi
the ration c/d, as an irrational number
radius
segment with endpoints at center and on the circle
Circle pairs
- 2 circles are congruent if they have congruent radii
2. all circles are similar
Concentric Circles
coplanar circles with same center
Inscribed polygon
polygon with vertices on the circle
Circumscribed polygon
polygon outside the circle
Arc
portion of the circle defined by 2 endpoints
Central Angle
angle with vertex in the center of the circle
Sum of Central Angles
360 degrees
Minor arc
connecting two endpoint that make up less than 180*
Major arc
connecting two endpoint s that make up more than 180*
Semicircle
arc with endpoints that lie on a diameter, or 180*
Congruent Arcs
arcs in same or congruent circles that have the same measure
In the same circle or in congruent circles, two minor arcs are congruent if an only if….
their central angles are congruent
Adjacent arc
arcs in a circle with exactly one point I common
Measure of arc formed by 2 adjacent arcs is the sum of the measure of
the two arcs
Arc Length
distance between endpoints along an arc, measured in degrees
in the same circle or congruent circles, 2 minor arcs are congruent if and only if their corresponding chords are…
