Circles Flashcards
In a circle, when a triangle is formed by connecting the endpoints of two radii then the triangle is…
Isosceles!
In every circle the ratio of the circumference to the diameter is..
exactly the same and is denoted by the symbol π (otherwise known as the Greek letter “pi”)
“Pi” or π =
circumference/diameter = (c/d)
Circumference =
πd or 2πr
The value of π is approximately…
3.14
An arc consists of…
two points on a circle and all the points between them. On the GRE, arc AB always refers to the smaller arc joining A and B.
If the vertex of an angles is at the center of a circle it is called a…
central angle
The degree measure of an arc =
the degree measure of the central angle that intercepts it.
The formula for the area of a circle when r is known…
A = πr^2
If an arc measures x degrees, the equation for the length of the arc is ?
(x/360)*(2πr) = length of arc
If d is the diameter and the radius of a circle is half the diameter…
d = 2r
Circumference =
3πr
The equation to calculate the length of an arc is?
(x degrees/360) * 2πr
The equation used to find the area of an arc is?
( x degrees / 360) * π r ^ 2
C =
2πr
