Chapter 10 Test Flashcards
Area formula
A=pi*r^2
Cirumference
C=2pir=pi*diameter
Arc
A piece of the circle; it is made up of two points on a circle and all the points of the circle needed to connect those two points by a single path
Arc measure
The number of degrees it occupies in the circle. Since circles are 360, an arc is at most 360
Central Angle
An angle formed by two radii. It is equal to the measure of the arc it creates
Arc length
The fraction of the circle’s circumference occupied by the arc; expressed in linear units such as feet, centimeters, or inches
Circle
The set of all points equidistant from one central point, called the center
Sector
The region of the circle created by a central angle.
Combined ratio of the sector and central angle
area of sector measure of central angle
_____________ = ________________________
area of circle 360*
Arc length formula
Arc length= measure of the central angle
__________________________ C
360*
Sector area formula
Area of sector= measure of central angle
______________________ (Area of circle)
360*
OR
Area of sector= arc length
______________ (Area of circle)
Circumference
Congruent circles
If two circles are congruent, then they have the same radii
Concentric circles
two or more coplanar circles with the same center
Exterior vs. interior points
• If the distance to a point is less than the radius, then the point is on the interior of the circle
• If the distance to a point is greater than the radius, then the point is on the exterior of the circle
• If the distance to a point is equal to the radius, then the point is on the circle
Distance from a chord to the center
The distance from the center of the chord is the measure of the perpendicular segment from the center to the chord.
Theorem #1
If a radius is perpendicular to a chord, then it bisects the chord
Theorem #2
If a radius bisects a chord that is not a diameter, then it is perpendicular to that chord
(converse of theorem #1)
Theorem #3
The perpendicular bisector of a chord passes through the center of a circle
Equidistance theorem #1
Points on the perpendicular bisector of a segment are equidistant from the endpoints of that segment.
Equidistance theorem #2
If two points are equidistant from the endpoints of a segment, then they are on the perpendicular bisector of that segment.
Theorem #4
If two chords of a circle are equidistant from the center, then they are congruent
