Circles

The document defines various terms related to circles such as radius, diameter, chord, arc, segment, and angle. It explains the relationships between these parts of a circle, such as the diameter being twice the length of the radius. Examples are provided to illustrate central angles being equal to the measure of intercepted arcs and inscribed angles being half the measure of intercepted arcs.

CIRCLES

OBJECTIVES

1. Name and identify the different parts of a circle.

2. Determine the relationship of radius and diameter


of a circle.

3. Use the relationship among chords, arcs, central angles,


and inscribed angles of circles.

4. Solve problems related to chords, arcs, central angles


and inscribed angles.
Circle
A circle is a closed curve in a
plane.
A circle can be drawn with the help of
a circular object.
For example: A circle drawn with the
help of a coin.
A circle is a closed curve consisting
of all points in a plane which are at
the same distance (equidistant)
from a fixed point inside it.
This fixed point (equidistant) inside a
circle is called center.

A circle has one and only one


center.
A circle divides a plane into three parts.

The interior of a circle together with its circumference


is called the circular region.
A line segment that joins any point on the circle
to its center is called a radius.

OM
Radii ( plural of radius) of a circle are equal in length.
Infinite number of radius can be drawn in a circle.

ON OL

OM OK
A line segment that joins any two points on the circle and
passes through its center is called a diameter.

AB
As the radii of a circle are equal
in length, its diameters too are
equal in length.

Infinite number of
diameters can be drawn
in a circle.
Radius OM = Radius ON
Diameter MN = Radius OM + Radius ON

The length of the diameter of a


circle is twice the length of its
radius.
A line segment that joins any two points on
the circle is called a chord.

AB
Diameter is also a chord of the circle.
The diameter is the longest chord.

MN

CD

KL
Infinite number of chords can be drawn
in a circle.
Secant is a line that intersects a circle at
exactly two points.

MN

KL
Tangent is a line that intersects the circle at
exactly one point.

K
An arc is the distance between any two
points on the circumference of a circle.
An arc divides the circle into two parts: the
smaller arc is called the minor arc, the larger
one is called the major arc.

KL

KYL
Half of a circle is called a semicircle.
A semicircle is also an arc of the circle
The diameter of a circle divides it into
2 semicircular regions.
A chord divides the circular region into 2 parts,
each of which is called a segment of the circle.
The part of the circular region enclosed by
a major arc and the chord is called a major
segment.
The part of the circular region enclosed by a
minor arc and the chord is called a minor
segment.
 Minor segment does not contain the centre
of the circle.

 Major segment contains the centre of the


circle.
A central angle of a circle is an angle whose
vertex is the center of the circle and whose
sides are radii of the circle.
A ∠AOB is a central
angle of circle O.
O AB is the intercepted arc

B
An intercepted arc is as an arc formed when one
or two different chords or line segments cut
across a circle and meet at a common point
called a vertex.
The measure of the central angle is equal
to the measure of its intercepted arc.

O 85º 85º

B
An inscribed angle of a circle is an angle whose
vertex is a point on the circle and whose sides
are chords of the circle.

∠ACB is an inscribed
C O angle of circle O.

B
The measure of the inscribed angle is equal to
half the measure of its intercepted arc.

C 50º O 100º

B
Given circle S, AR = RO, OS = SA,
angle AMR = 3x + 20, and angle OMR = x + 30.
Find: a. x
3x + 20 = x + 30
3x - x = 30 – 20
2x = 10
x=5

b. angle AMR = 3x + 20
= 3(5) + 20
= 35
c. angle OMR = x + 30
= 5 + 30
= 35

d. angle ASM = 110

e. arc AM = 110
