1 Obj: Use angle measures to find arc measures

2 Circle Parts Central Angle- Angle with the vertex at the center of a circle and endpoints on the circle. Minor arc- Arc of a circle measuring less than 180⁰ Major arc- Arc of a circle with a measure of 360⁰ - its minor arc Semicircle- Arc with a measure of 180⁰ Talk about naming arcs. Minor- Endpoints, Major-Endpoints and point on arc

3 Measuring arcs Measure of a circle- 360⁰
Measure of minor angle- the measure of its central angle. Measure of Major Arc: 360⁰- measure of the minor arc.

4 Find the measure of each arc of the circle, where RT is a diameter.
Is it a minor arc, major arc, or semicircle?

5 Arc Addition The measure of an arc formed by two adjacent arcs is the sum of the measure of the two arcs. Part + Part = Whole

6 Arc Addition Example

7 Is the given arc a major arc, minor arc, or semicircle
Is the given arc a major arc, minor arc, or semicircle? Find the measure of the arc.

8 Congruent Circles and Arcs
Congruent Circles- Circles with the same radius Congruent Arcs- Arcs of congruent circles that have the same measure.

9 Tell whether the red arcs are congruent. Explain why or why not.
