Arc Length Monday, November 27, 2017
Quick Definition Review Chord: a segment whose endpoints lie on a circle A B AB
Quick Definition Review Arc: an unbroken part of a circle
Quick Definition Review Minor Arc: an arc that is less than half of a circle. to name, use 2 points
Quick Definition Review Major Arc: an arc that is more than half of a circle. to name, use 3 points
Quick Definition Review Central Angle: an angle whose vertex is at the center of a circle
Quick Definition Review Inscribed Angle: an angle whose vertex is on a circle and whose sides are chords of the circle
Quick Definition Review Tangent: a line, ray, or segment that intersects the circle in only one point (perpendicular)
Quick Definition Review Secant: a line, ray, or segment that contains a chord
Arc Length Arc Measure (yesterday) is in degrees. Arc Length is in units like cm, ft, and in. Arc Length is a portion of the circumference just as an arc is a portion of the entire circle. Everything is proportional when it comes to circles! You need to know the central angle that intercepts your arc to set up your proportion.
Examples Find the arc length: 1. Radius 5 cm, central angle 50º Find the circumference: 3. Central angle 55º, arc length 5.5 cm 4. Central angle 60º, arc length 3.82 m Find the central angle: 5. Arc length 45 ft, radius 12 ft 6. Arc length 30in, radius 14 in
