CIRCLES Terms and Vocabulary: center. - Henry County Schools
CIRCLES Terms and Vocabulary: 1. Circle: The set of all points in a plane that are equidistant
from a fixed point called the center. 2. Radius: A segment whose endpoints are the center of a circle and
a point on the circle. (Note: All radii of the same circle are congruent). 3. Chord: A segment whose endpoints are 2 points
on a circle. 4. Secant: A line that intersects a circle in two points
5. Diameter: A chord that passes through the center of a Circle.
6. Tangent: A line that intersects a circle in exactly one point.
7. Concentric Circles: Circles with the same center are called ______________ circles. 8. Congruent Circles: have congruent radii. 9. A polygon is inscribed in a circle if its sides are chords of the circle.
10. 11. A polygon is circumscribed about a circle if its sides are tangent to the circle.
11. A minor arc has a measure that is less than 180 D . We name a minor with 2 letters.
12. A major arc arc has a measure that is greater than 180 D . We name a major arc with 3 letters.
13. A semicircle is an arc whose endpoints are the endpoints of a diameter. It has a measure of 180 D . We name a semicircle with 3 letters.
14. Central Angle: An angle whose vertex is the center of a circle.
The measure of a central angle is equal to the measure of its intercepted arc.
15. Inscribed Angle: An angle whose vertex is a point on a circle and whose sides contain chords.
The measure of an inscribed angle is half of the measure of its intercepted arc.
According to theorems:
16.
A radius drawn to a tangent at the point of
tangency is perpendicular to the tangent.
17.
Tangent segments from an
exterior point to a circle are congruent.
18. In a circle, or in congruent circles, congruent central angles intercept congruent arcs.
19. In a circle, or in congruent circles, congruent chords intercept congruent arcs .
20. If a diameter (or radius) is perpendicular to chord, then it bisects the chord and it bisects its arcs. (Converse is also true).
21
In the same circle (or congruent circles) two
Chords are congruent if they are equidistant
Form the center. (Converse is true)
22. If two inscribed angles intercept the same arc, then they are congruent.
23. If an angle is inscribed in a semicircle then it is a right angle.
24. If a quadrilateral can be inscribed in a circle then both pairs of its opposite angles are supplementary.
25. The measure of an angle formed by a tangent and a chord/secant intersecting at the point of tangency is equal to half measure of the intercepted arc.
26. If 2 chords intersect in a circle, the measure of each angle is equal to ? the sum of the intercepted arcs made by the angle and its vertical angle.
