Theorems, Postulates, and Definitions
-Circle: is the set of all points in a plane that are equidistant from the given point in the plane known as the center of a circle.

-Radius: a segment that goes from the center to the circle.
-All radii in the same or congruent circles are congruent
-Chord: segment within a circle that intersects the circle in 2 points.
-Congruent chords are equidistant from the center
-Diameter: the longest chord of a circle and contains the center of the circle.






Radius Chord Diameter

Arcs

-A chord divides a circle into 2 arcs.

Minor Arc Major Arc





-A third point must be added to the circle in order to identify a major arc

-Central Angle: the central angle of a circle is an angle in the plane of a circle whose vertex is the center of the circle, or more simply, the central angle is the angle between 2 radii.

Arc Measurement
-Arcs are measured in 2 ways:
The degree measure of the arc: this is the measure of an angle that the arc would intercept
The length of the arc: the actual part of the circumference that makes up the arc

Degree Measure of Arcs:
-The degree measure of a minor arc is the measure of its central angle.
-The degree measure of a major arc is 360° minus the degree measure of its central angle.
-The degree measure of a semicircle is 180°

Theorems, Postulates, &Definitions
Arc Length: If r is the radius of a circle and M is the degree measure of an arc of the circle, then the length, L, of the arc is given by:
L= M/360 (2πr)

Inscribed angles – and inscribed angle is an angle made up of 2 chords. Since it is made up of chords, the vertex of the angle will be ON the circle.
There are 3 types of inscribed angles, Center Interior, Center Exterior, Center included.
Intercepted Arc – the minor arc defined by the 2 endpoints of chords forming an inscribed angle that are not part of the vertex of the inscribed angle.

Theorems, Postulates, and Definitions
-Inscribed Angle Theorem 10 -5: the measure of an angle inscribed in a circle is equal to half the measure of the intercepted arc (or, the measure of an intercepted arc is twice the measure of the inscribed angle.)
-Theorem 10-6: Arc-Intercepted Theorem: if 2 inscribed angles intercept congruent arcs or the same arc, the angles are congruent.
-Theorem 10-7: Right-Angle Theorem: if an inscribed angle intercepts a semicircle, then the angle is a right angle.

Inscribed Quadrilateral Theorem
-Theorem 10-8: If a quadrilateral is inscribed in a circle then it’s opposite angles are supplementary.

Secants, Tangents, and Angle measures
-Secant-a line that intersects a circle in 2 points





-segments AB and CB are secants.
Interior Angle Theorem
-Angles that are formed by 2 intersecting chords.
D
A B
C
-Interior Angle Theorem: the measure of the angle formed by the 2 intersecting chords is equal to ½ the sum of the measures of the intercepted arcs.
Exterior Angles
-an angle formed by 2 secants, 2 tangents, or a secant and a tangent drawn from a point outside the circle.
-Exterior Angle Theorem-the measure of the angle formed is equal to ½ the difference of the intercepted arcs.

inscribed angle- an inscribed angle is an angle made up of two chords. since its made up of chords, the vertex of the angle will be ON the circle.

Intercepted Arc- the minor arc defined by the two endpoints of chords forming an inscribed angle that are not part of the vertex of the inscribed angle.

INscribed Angle Theorem 10-5: the measure of an angle inscribed in a circle is equal to half the measure of the intercepted arc (or, the measure of an intercepted arc arc is twice the measure of the inscribed angle.

The arc intercept theorem: if two inscribed angles intercept congruent arcs or the same arc, the angles are congruent

the right angle theorem -if an inscribed angle intercepts a simicircle, then the angle is a right angle.
Inscribed qaudrillateral theorem- if a qudrilateralis inscribed ina circle then its oppisite angles are supplemetary
