angle with its vertex at the center of the circle

22
Q

minor arc

A

part of circle that is smaller than half

23
Q

major arc

A

24
Q

semicircle

A

arc with the endpoints at the diameter

25
postulate 16: Arc Addiction Postulate
the measure of the arc formed by two adjacent arcs is the sum of the measures of these two arcs
26
adjacent arcs
arcs that have exactly one common endpoint
27
congruent arcs
arcs in the same circle, or congruent circles that have equal measure
28
theorem 9-3
in the same circle or in congruent circles, two minor arcs are congruent if and only if their central angles are congruent.
29
Theorem 9-4
In the same circle or in congruent circles: 1) congruent arcs have congruent chords 2) congruent chords have congruent arcs
30
Theorem 9-5
A diameter that is perpendicular to a chord bisects the chord and its arc
31
Theorem 9-6
In the same circle or in congruent circles 1) chords equally distant from the center are congruent 2) congruent chords are equally distant from the center
32
inscribed angles
an angle whose vertex is on a circle and whose sides contain chords of the circle
33
Theorem 9-7
The measure of an inscribed angle is equal to half the measure of its intercepted arc
34
Corollary 1 of theorem 9-7
if two inscribed angles intercept the same arc, then the angles are congruent
35
corollary 2 of theorem 9-7
an angle inscribed in a semicircle is a right angle
36
corollary 3 of theorem 9-7
if a quadrilateral is inscribed in a circle, then its opposite angles are supplementary
37
Theorem 9-8
the measure of an angle formed by a chord and a tangent is equal to half the measure of the intercepted arc
38
Theorem 9-9
The measure of an angle formed by two chords that intersect inside a circle is equal to half the sum of the measures of the intercepted arcs
39
theorem 9-10
The measure of an angle formed by two secants, two tangents, or a secant and a tangent drawn from a point outside a circle is equal to half the difference of the measures of the intercepted arcs.
40
theorem 9-11
when two chords intersect inside a circle, the product of the segments of one chord equals the product of the segments of the other chord
41
Theorem 9-12
When two secant segments are drawn to a circle from an external point, the product of one secant segment and its external segment equals the product of the other secant segments and its external segment.
42
Theorem 9-13
when a secant segment and a tangent are drawn to a circle from an external point, the product of the secant segment and its external segment is equal to the square of the tangent segment
