5. Parts of a Circle
Circle – set of all points _________ from a given point called the _____ of the circle.
equidistant C
center
Symbol: C

6. CHORD:
A segment whose endpoints are on the circle

7. Radius
RADIUS:
Distance from the center to point on circle P

8. Distance across the circle through its center
Diameter
DIAMETER:
Distance across the circle through its center P
Also known as the longest chord.

10. Use P to determine whether each statement is true or false.Q R T S
True: thumbs up False: thumbs down

11. Secant Line:
intersects the circle at exactly TWO points

12. a LINE that intersects the circle exactly ONE time
Tangent Line:
a LINE that intersects the circle exactly ONE time
Forms a 90°angle with a radius
Point of Tangency: The point where the tangent intersects the circle

Tangent

14. Central
Section 6.2
Arcs

15. Central Angle : An Angle whose vertex is at the center of the circle
Major Arc
Minor Arc
More than 180°
Less than 180°
ACB P AB
To name: use 3 letters C
To name: use 2 letters B
APB is a Central Angle

16. Semicircle: An Arc that equals 180°
To name: use 3 letters E D
EDF P F

17. THINGS TO KNOW AND REMEMBER ALWAYS
A circle has 360 degrees
A semicircle has 180 degrees
Vertical Angles are Equal

18. measure of an arc = measure of central angle
