Study Notes

Circle Concepts

A circle is defined as a collection of points equidistant from a central point.
A sphere consists of points in space that are equidistant from a central point but not in the same plane as a circle.

Circle Elements

Radius: The segment connecting the center of the circle to a point on its circumference.
Chord: A segment that joins two points on a circle.
Diameter: A special type of chord that passes through the center of the circle.
Secant: A line that intersects a circle and contains a chord.
Tangent: A line that touches a circle at exactly one point.

Arc Definitions

Central angle: Formed by two radii at the center; its measure is equal to the intercepted arc.
Minor arcs: Measures between 0° and 180°.
Semi circle: An arc that measures exactly 180°.
Major arcs: Measures between 180° and 360°.

Arc and Length Formulas

Arc addition postulate: The measure of an arc formed by two adjacent radii is the sum of the measures of the two arcs they intercept.
Arc length formula: Calculated using the formula ((x/360) \times 2\pi r).

Special Circle Relations

Concentric circles: Multiple circles sharing the same center.
Theorem 12-1: If a line is perpendicular to a circle, it intersects the radius at a right angle at the point of tangency.
Converse of Theorem 12-1: A line that is perpendicular to a radius at its endpoint is a tangent.

Circle Theorems

Theorem 12-2: If two tangents are drawn from a common exterior point, the line segment connecting the point to the tangency points forms equal lengths.
Theorem 12-5: In congruent circles, congruent circles correspond to congruent arcs and congruent chords.
Theorem 12-7: Congruent chords are equidistant from the center in both congruent and same circles.
Theorem 12-8: A diameter that is perpendicular to a chord bisects both the chord and the arc it intercepts.
Theorem 12-9: A diameter that bisects a chord is perpendicular to it.
Theorem 12-10: The perpendicular bisector of a chord passes through the center of the circle.

Inscribed Angles and their Properties

Inscribed angle: Equal to half the measure of its intercepted arc.
Corollary 1: Inscribed angles sharing a common arc are congruent.
Corollary 2: An inscribed angle in a semicircle is always 90°.
Corollary 3: Opposite angles of an inscribed quadrilateral are supplementary.

Angle Formulas

Interior angle formula: (\frac{1}{2} \times (\text{sum of intercept arc + arc})).
Exterior angle formula: (\frac{1}{2} \times (\text{large arc} - \text{small arc})).

Circle Equation

The standard form of a circle is given by the equation ((x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2), where ((h, k)) is the center and (r) is the radius.

Pythagorean Triples

Known Pythagorean triples include (5, 12, 13), (3, 4, 5), and (7, 24, 25).
