Measuring Angles and Arcs
Angles and Arcs Central angle Is an angle whose vertex is at the center of a circle and whose sides are radii
Angles and Arcs Sum of measures of central angles 1 3 2
Angles and Arcs An Arc A portion of circle defined by two endpoints R
Angles and Arcs R A central angle separates a circle into two arcs Q P Measures of the arcs are related to the measures of central angles
Angles and Arcs A Minor Arc x B C The shortest arc connecting two endpoints on a circle B Its measure is less than 180 C
Angles and Arcs A Major Arc x B C D The longest arc connecting two endpoints on a circle B Its measure is greater than 180 C D
Angles and Arcs A Semicircle D 180 B C Is an arc with endpoints that lies on a diameter B The measure of a semicircle is 180 C
