Arc
Consists of two points on a circle and all points
needed to connect the points by a single path.
The center of an arc is the center of the circle

of which the arc is a part.
**The degree measure of an arc is defined in terms of its central angle.
Central Angle
• An angle whose vertex is at the center of a

circle.
• Radii OA and OB determine central angle

AOB.
N.B. In naming a circle, we use the center of

the circle represented by a capital letter.
Thus, we can call the circle at the right side as

circle O with ∠𝐴𝑂𝐵 as the central angle.
Minor Arc
An arc whose points are on or between the side
of a central angle.
Central angle APB determines minor arc AB.

Minor arcs are named with two letters.
Major Arc
An arc whose points are on or outside of
a central angle.
Central angle CQD determines major arc CFD.

Major arcs are named with three letters (CFD).
Semicircle
An arc whose endpoints of

a diameter.
Arc EF is a semicircle.
Measure of an Arc
Minor Arc or Semicircle: The measure is the same as the central angle that
intercepts the arc.
Major Arc: The measure of the arc is

360 minus the measure of the minor
arc with the same endpoints.
ACTIVITY: LET’S FILL THIS UP
Directions: Given the value of the central angle and the

intercepted arc, find the value of x which will make each
statement correct.

Definition
Congruent Arcs
Two arcs that have the same measure are not necessarily
congruent arcs.
Two arcs are congruent whenever they have the same measure
and are parts of the same circle or congruent circles.
POSTULATE:
The Central Angle – Intercepted
Arc Postulate (CA – IA Postulate)
“The measure of a central angle of a circle is equal to the measure of its intercepted arc.”
POSTULATE:
The Arc Addition Postulate
“The measure of the arc formed by two adjacent arcs is the sum of the measures of the two arcs.”
POSTULATE:
The Arc Addition Postulate
“The measure of the arc formed by two adjacent arcs is the sum of the measures of the two arcs.”
POSTULATE: A diameter divides a
circle into two semicircles
N.B. The measure of the central angle can also be used to determine the arc length. The arc
length (or length of an arc) is different from the degree measure of an arc. That is, if a circle is
made up of string, the length of the arc is the linear distance of the piece of string
representing the arc. The length of the arc is a part of the circumference and is proportional to
the measure of the central angle when compared to the entire circle.
THEOREM 96: ARC LENGTH
The length of an arc of a circle is the product of the
𝒎𝒆𝒂𝒔𝒖𝒓𝒆 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐜
ratio, , and the circumference of the
𝟑𝟔𝟎
circle.

Lesson 2: Inscribed Angles
Objectives:
1.Prove theorems related to

inscribed angles and inscribed
quadrilaterals; and
2. find the measures of the

unknown angles or arcs using
the theorems on chords.
An inscribed angle in a circle is an angle which
vertex is on the circle and which sides contain
chords of the circle.
NOT inscribed angles:

THEOREM 2: THE INSCRIBED

ANGLE THEOREM
The measure of an inscribed

angle is one-half the measure
of its intercepted arc.
The intercepted arc is twice the measure of any
inscribed angle which sides pass through the end
points of the arc. Thus, the measure of arc AC = 2m∠𝑩.
Three (3) Cases to consider in writing a proof of this theorem:
CASE 1 : The center of the circle lies on one side of the angle
CASE 2 : The center of the circle is in the interior of the angle
CASE 3 : The center of the circle is in the exterior of the angle
