Unit 11 - Sectors, Arcs, Central Angles, Inscribed Angles, Chords, Intersecting Chords Flashcards
Formula for Area of a sector
angle over 360 times pi radius squared
What can pi equal
180
Formula for Arc Length
angle over 360 times 2 pi r
greater than 180
major arc (3 letters)
less than 180
minor arc (2 letters)
measure of arc = to ?
central angle
what is a chord
line segment in a circle with endpoints on the circle
what is an inscribed angle
angle formed inside a circle from 2 chords sharing an endpoint
measure of central angle
same as intercepted arc
measure of inscribed angle
half of intercepted arc
measure of arc/angle with intersecting chords
add the 2 angles of the arcs and divided by 2
what is a secant
line passes through two points on a circle, can form a chord
how to get measurement of secant
subtract the 2 angles from each other and divide by 2 (the angle ur looking for is outside the circle)
how to get measurement of tangent
same as secant
