CIRCLES AND ARCSChapter 10.6
Circle
A set of all points equidistant from the center
Center
Circle
A circle is named by the center
Circle P (P)
P
Diameter
A segment that contains the center of a circle and has both endpoints on the circle.
Diameter
Radius
A segment that has one endpoint at the center of the circle and the other on the circle.
Radius
Congruent Circles
Congruent circles have the congruent radii
P Q
Central Angle
An angle whose vertex is the center of the circle.
Central Angle
Arc
Part of a circle. From point to point on the outside of the circle.
Arc
Semicircle
An arc that’s half of the circle.
SemicircleHas a measure of 1800

Minor Arc
A minor arc is smaller than half the circle.
Minor Arc

Practice 1
Name 3 of the following in A.1. the minor arcs
2. the major arcs
3. the semicircles
Adjacent Arcs Adjacent arcs are arcs of the same circle
that have exactly one point in common.
Arc Addition Postulate The measure of the arc formed by two adjacent
arcs is the sum of the measure of the two arcs.

Circumference
The distance around the circle A measure of length
Circumference The circumference of a circle is π times the
diameter (a = πd) or 2 times π and the radius (a = 2πr).

Circumference
Example:
D = 4
C = d= 4
or = 12.52
Circumference
Example:
C = 2r= 2(5)
or = 31.4r = 5= 10

3. 12 ft. diameter
Sector of a Circle
A sector of a circle is a region bounded by an arc of the circle and the two radii to the arc’s endpoints.
You name a sector using the two endpoints with the center of the circle in the middle.
Sector of a Circle
Sector is the area of part of the circle
