Five points on the circumference of the circle divide it into five congruent arcs. The measure of each the arcs is 360° divided by 5 arcs. Therefore, the degree measure of each arc is 72°.
The measure of the central angle is equal to the measure of the arc, which is 72°. Convert the degree measure to radians with the formula (72°)(π/180°), which is approximately equal to 1.26 radians. To get the length of the arc, multiply the measure of
the central angle to the measure of the radius, which is 3 cm. Therefore, the length of the arc is approximately 3.77 cm.
The line segments consecutively connecting the points on the circle forms a five sided polygon called a pentagon.
Yes. When two lines intersect at the center of a circle, the lines create two vertical angle pairs that are also central angles. The angles
in each pair of opposite angles are congruent to each other according to the vertical angle theorem. The measure of an arc is equal to
the measure of its corresponding central angle. Since the pair of central angles are congruent to one another, their corresponding arcs must also be congruent to one another.
Yes. The degree measure of an arc is equal to the degree measure of its corresponding
central angle. Since∠CON intersects both arc CN and arc RW, their degree measure is equal to the degree measure of ∠CON. This makes both arcs equal to one another.
No. The lengths of an arc are is computed by multiplying the measure of its corresponding central angle to the corresponding circle's radius. Despite having equal central angles, the
radius of the two circles are not equal. Therefore, the lengths of the arcs are not equal.
C = 2πr length of arc = (measure of central angle)(radius) radian measure = (degree measure)(π/180°) 37.68 cm. = (2)(3.14)(r) 6.28 cm. = (x)(5.997 cm.) 1.047 radians = (y)(3.14 / 180°)
37.68 cm. = (6.283)(r) x = (6.28 cm.) / (5.997 cm.) 1.047 radians = (y)(0.017) r = (37.68 cm.) / (6.283) x = 1.047 radians y = (1.047 radians) / (0.017)
r = 5.997 cm. y = 60.03°
∴ the degree measure of the arc is equal to the degree measure of its central angle so the degree measure of the arc is approxmately 60.03° I would use a ruler and temporary markers out of string to make two sets of perpendicular lines. First, I need two congruent chords so I would make two straight lines with two
congruent strings anf place their endpoints on the circumference of the garden. Next, with more congruent strings and a ruler, I'm going to make perpendicular bisectors of the
two chords. The perpendicular bisector of a chord passes through the center of the circle.
Hence, the point at which the bisectors intersect marks the center of the circular garden.
