Encircle the best answer that suits to each question.

1. It is an angle whose vertex is on the circle and whose sides contain chords of the circle.
a. central angle b. chord c. inscribed angle d. intercepted arc
2. Circle is a set of all points that are equidistant from a specific point, called ______.
a. angle b. center c. radius d.point
3. What do you call this symbol?

a. arc b. curve c. line d. segment

4. It is named in a single letter and sometimes indicated by the symbol ⊙.

a. angle b. circle c. curve d. point

5. It is an arc that measures greater than 180 degrees.

a. central angle b. major arc c. minor arc d. semicircle

Imagine that you are sitting on a bench at the center of a perfectly round garden. There are three
people in your family standing at different places around the garden. One to your right, another to your
left and the last one is in front of you. When a line is drawn from you to the person in front of you and
another line from you to the person on your left, you formed a central angle. Amazing, isn’t it? Now, let us
continue. When a line is drawn from the person to your left to the person in front of you, that straight line
is what we called a chord. Therefore, a chord is a straight line from one point of the circle to the other.
How about arc? Arc is a curve shape, which is the distance around the surface of the circular garden.
When the person on your left runs toward the person on your right while following the garden’s wall, then
that person has created an arc. If you draw two lines from the person on your left going to the person on
your right and to the person in front of you, it forms an inscribed angle..

The Circle
What would our lives be like without shapes and circles? Will we have the same design of buses as our
mode of transport? How about other vehicles, such as bikes and personal cars? What if circles do not exist
in the world of sports? What will athletes use to compete in various sporting activities, such as basketball,
tennis, volleyball, and the like? How about the machines that run our production and exchange?
Circles, no doubt, play a huge part in our day-to-day lives. Circles are interesting. Unlike any other
shapes, these do not contain edges, but form arcs and angles. Circle is a set of all points equidistant from a
Consider the spinning wheel used in the gameshow, “Wheel of Fortune”.
Notice that each part of the wheel is defined by an angle whose vertex is the center of the circle. Such an
angle is called a central angle. The circumference of the circle is separated into arcs by the central angle.
This is also called the intercepted arc.
 Types of Arc

Degree Measure of an Arc

1. The degree measure of a minor arc is the measure of the central angle which intercepts the arc.
2. The degree measure of a major arc is equal to 360 minus the measure of the minor arc with the same
endpoints.

3. The degree measure of a semicircle is 180 o

Proof of the Theorem
The proof has two parts. Part I. Given are two congruent circles and a central angle from each circle
which are congruent. The two-column proof below shows that their corresponding intercepted arcs are
congruent.

Part 2. Given are two congruent circles and intercepted arcs from each circle which are congruent. The
two-column proof shows that their corresponding angles are congruent.
2. In a circle or in congruent circles, two minor arcs are congruent if and only if their
corresponding chords are congruent.
3. In a circle, a diameter bisects a chord and an arc with the same endpoints if and only if
perpendicular to the chord.
