The measure of an arc formed by two adjacent arcs is the sum of the measures of the two arcs.

mABC = mAB + mBC

Postulate 26- Arc Addition Postulate

If the same circle, or in congruent circles, two minor arcs are congruent if and only if their corresponding chords are congruent.

Theorem 10.4

AB ≅ BC iff AB ≅ BC.

Are the arcs congruent?1. 2.

yes

No

Arcs AB and CD Arcs XY and ZW

If a diameter of a circle is perpendicular to a chord, then the diameter bisects the chord and its arc.

Theorem 10.5

DE ≅ EF, DG ≅ GF

If one chord is a perpendicular bisector of another chord, then the first chord is a diameter.

Theorem 10.6

JK is a diameter of the circle.

In the same circle, or in congruent circles, two chords are congruent iff they are equidistant from the center.

Theorem 10.7

AB ≅CD iff EF ≅ EG.
