OBJECTIVE
• Identify and describe terms
related to circle How are wheels important to everyday life? Give examples of their importance. What geometrical figure do wheels signify? ACTIVITY: Use the figure below to identify and name the following terms related to circle A. 1. a radius 2. a diameter 3. a chord 4. a semicircle 5. a minor arc 6. a major arc 7. 2 central angles 8. 2 inscribed angles 1. How did you identify and name the radius, diameter and chord? How about the semicircle, minor arc, and major arc? Inscribed angle and central angle? Answer key: Terms related to circle 1. Radius It is a segment drawn from the center of the circle to any point on the circle. , It is a segment whose endpoints are on 2. Diameter the circle and it passes through the center of the circle. It is the longest chord. 3. chord It is a segment joining any two points on the circle. , 4. Semicircle It is an arc measuring one-half of the JNE, JLE circumference of a circle.
5. Minor arc It is an arc of a circle that measures
JL, JN, EN, EL less than a semicirlcle. 6. Major arc It is an arc of a circle that measures LEN, LJE, ENL, greater than a semicircle. JLN, LNJ 7. Central angle It is an angle whose vertex is at the center of the circle and with two radii as its sides.
8. Inscribed angle It is an angle whose vertex is on a
circle and whose sides contain chords of the circle. 2. How do you describe a radius, a diameter, and chord of a circle? How about the semicircle, minor arc, and major arc? Inscribed angle and central angle? 1. A radius is half the measure of the diameter. 2. A diameter is twice the measure of the radius and it is the longest chord. 3. A chord is a segment joining any two points on the circle. 4. A semicircle is an arc measuring one-half the circumference of a circle. 5. A minor arc is an arc of a circle that measures less than the semicircle. 6. A major arc is an arc of a circle that measures greater than the semicircle. 7. A central angle is an angle whose vertex is the center of the circle and with two radii as its sides.
8. A inscribed angle is an angle whose vertex is on a circle
and whose sides contain chords of the circle. 3. How do you differentiate among the radius, diameter, and chord of a circle? How about the semicircle, minor arc, and major arc? Inscribed angle and central angle? Now that you know the important terms related to circles, let us deepen your understanding of finding the lengths of sides of right triangles. You need this mathematical skill in finding the relationships among chords, arcs, and central angles. ACTIVITY: In each triangle below, the length of one side in unknown. Determine the length of this side Answer key: 1. c = 10 units 2. c = 17.49 units 3. c = 12. 73 units 4. a = 12 units 5. b = 4 units 6. b = 12. 12 units 1. How did you find the missing side of each right triangle? Using the equation a2 + b2 = c2
2. What mathematics concepts or principles
did you apply to find each missing side? Pythagorean theorem QUIZ: Use circle A below to identify and name the following. 1. Radii 2. 2 Diameters 3. 2 Chords 4. 2 Semicircles 5.4 minor arcs and their corresponding major arcs 6.4 central angles
