Study Notes
Circle Definitions
- Circle: The set of all points equidistant from a fixed point (center).
- Center: The fixed point from which all points on the circle are equidistant.
- Radius: A line segment connecting the center to a point on the circle.
- Diameter: A line segment passing through the center and connecting two points on the circle.
- Chord: A line segment connecting two points on the circle.
- Central Angle: An angle formed by two radii with its vertex at the center of the circle.
- Inscribed Angle: An angle formed by two chords sharing an endpoint on the circle.
- Arc: A portion of the circumference of a circle.
- Secant: A line that intersects a circle at two distinct points.
- Tangent: A line that touches the circle at only one point and does not enter the circle.
Theorems and Postulates
- Central Angle - Intercepted Arc Postulate: The measure of a central angle is equal to the measure of its intercepted arc (and vice versa).
- Arc Degree Measure: Half the measure of the circle.
- Arc Addition Postulate: The measure of an arc formed by two adjacent arcs is the sum of the measures of those arcs.
- Arc Length Formula: (arc degree measure/360) * 2Ï€r
- Segments Perpendicular to a Chord Theorem: If a diameter or radius is perpendicular to a chord, then it bisects the chord and its arc.
