Theorems 11.1 and 11.2

“properties of tangents”

A

If a line is tangent to a circle, then it is perpendicular to the radius drawn at the point of tangency

In a plane, if a line is perpendicular to a radius of a circle at its endpoint on the circle, then the line is tangent to the circle.

Q

minor arc

A

if a measure of an angle is less than 180, then all the points on that angle form a minor arc
arcs are denoted by A⌒B
(an angle that has a vertex at the very center of the circle)

Q

arc length

A

a portion of the circumference of a circle.
You can write a proportion to find arc length:
arc length of A⌒B = mA⌒B
———– of 2(3.14)(radius)
360`

Q

Theorem 11.4 “diameter perpendicular to a chord”

A

If a diameter of a circle is perpendicular to a chord, then the diameter bisects the chord and its arc

17
Q

Theorem 11.5 “chord perpendicular to another chord”

A

If one chord is perpendicular bisector of another chord, then the first chord is a diameter.

18
Q

Theorem 11.6 “in the same circle or in congruent ones”

A

In the same circle, or in congruent circles:

If two chords are congruent, then their corresponding minor arcs are congruent.

If two minor arcs are congruent, then their corresponding chords are congruent.

19
Q

inscribed angle

A

an angle whose vertex is on a circle and whose sides contain chords of the circle

20
Q

intercepted arc

A

the arc that lies in the interior of an inscribed angle and has endpoints of the angle

21
Q

Theorem 11.7 “measure of an inscribed angle”

A

If an angle is inscribed in a circle, then its measure is half the measure of its intercepted arc.

22
Q

inscribed

A

if all the vertices of a polygon lie on a circle

23
Q

circumscried

A

if all the vertices of a polygon lie on a circle and the circle is circumscribed about the polygon

24
Q

Theorem 11.8 “inscribed and circumscribed”

A

If a triangle inscribed in a circle is a right triangle, then the hypotenuse is a diameter of the circle.
If a side of a triangle inscribed in a circle is a diameter of the circle, then the triangle is a right triangle.

25
Theorem 11.9 "quadrilateral inscribed"
If a quadrilateral can be inscribed in a circle, then its opposite angles of a quadrilateral are supplementary. If the opposite angles of a quadrilateral are supplementary, then the quadrilateral can be inscribed in a circle
26
Theorem 11.10 "properties of chords"
If two chords intersect inside a circle, then the measure of each angel formed is one half the sum of the measures of the arcs intercepted by the angle and its vertical angle.
27
Theorem 11.11 "intersecting chords"
If two chords intersect inside a circle, then the product of the lengths of the segments of one chord is equal to the product of the lengths of the segments of the other chord
28
standard equation of a circle
In the coordinate plane, the standard equation of a circle with center a (h,k) and radius r is: (x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2
29
rotation
a transformation in which a figure is turned about a fixed point. the fixed point is the center of rotation
30
angle of rotation
Rays drawn from the center of rotation to a point and its image form an angle
31
Rotational symmetry
if a figure in a plane can be mapped onto itself by a rotation of 180` or less
