PRIOR-KNOWLEDGE

Before you go through all the topics of lesson 1, let us first revisit their definition
and illustrations to figure out the relationship between angles and arcs within a circle.
CENTRAL ANGLE
A central angle is an angle whose vertex is on the center
of a circle and its sides are the radii of the same circle. The figure A B
below illustrates a central angle.
The illustration presented shows ⨀𝐶. The central angle is .
C
∠𝐴𝐶𝐵, point C is the vertex of the angle which is at the center of
the circle. The central angle intercept arc AB of the circle that
connects point-A to point-B. The two segments ̅̅̅̅
𝐴𝐶 and ̅̅̅̅
𝐵𝐶 in the
diagram are the radii.

TYPES OF ARCS
The figures below illustrate the three different types of arcs and the central
angles that intercept those arcs.

Definition 1:
The degree measure of the minor arc is equal to the degree measure of its
central angle.

 Arc Addition Postulate
Arc addition postulate states that the measure of the arc formed by two
adjacent, non-overlapping arcs is the sum of the measures of the arcs.
̂ and𝑚𝐴𝐷𝐶
Example 1: Given ⊙ 𝑅, find 𝑚𝐴𝐵𝐶 ̂

̂ =𝑚𝐴𝐵
Solution:𝑚𝐴𝐵𝐶 ̂ + 𝑚𝐵𝐶
̂
A 50°
= 50° + 85°
B
135° = 135°
R 85° ̂ = 𝑚𝐴𝐷
𝑚𝐴𝐷𝐶 ̂ + 𝑚𝐷𝐶
̂

D C = 135° + 90°
90° = 225°

Another mathematical concept you need to revisit before going through all the
lessons of this module is the two-column proof. A two-column proof is one common
way to organize a proof of geometry. It has two columns; one consists of a list of
statements and one for reasons. The statements are listed in a column to the left, and
the reasons for which the statements can be made are written to the right column. In
other words, “if then” statements are written at the left-hand side, and the right-hand
side explains ‘why we know’, and ‘what we know’.
The two-column proof offers the learners a clear and logically sequenced
arguments. It shows the exact relationship between statements and reasons.

Did you understand the discussion? It was easy for sure. Are you ready to learn more
about the relationship among chords, arcs, and central angles of a circle? I am sure
you are!

PRESENTATION

Definition of Congruent Circles and Congruent Arcs

➢ Congruent circles are circles with congruent radii.

Example:

B 𝐴𝐵 is the radius of ⊙ 𝐴.

𝐶𝐷 is the radius of ⊙ 𝐶.
A C
If 𝐴𝐵 ≅ 𝐶𝐷, then ⊙ 𝐴 ≅⊙ 𝐶.

Your goal in this section is to apply what you have learned to a real-life situation. You will
be assigned to a task that will demonstrate your understanding about arcs and central
angles.

1: Ride Safely:

Use the situation below to answer the questions that follow.

James is a motorcycle rider. He decided of designing a spoke wheel like the

one shown below. He put 8 spokes which divide the rim into 8 equal parts. Try to help
James in computing;

a) the degree measure of each arc along the rim;

b) the degree measure of each central angle formed by the
spoke at the hub.
c) If you were to design a wheel, how many spokes will you
use to divide the rim? Why?

• A central angle is an angle whose vertex is on the center of a circle and its
sides are the radii of the same circle.
• The degree measure of the minor arc is equal to the degree measure of its

PRIOR-KNOWLEDGE

In lessons 1 and 2 you learned about the relationship between central angle
and its intercepted arcs. In this section, you will continue to discover some interesting
facts about circles. Before you proceed to the proofs of the theorems and its application
to the real world, first revisit some important terminologies about inscribed angles and
its relationship to its intercepted arcs.

Inscribed Angles and Intercepted Arcs

An inscribed angle is an angle whose vertex lies on the circle and whose sides
contain chords of the circle. The arc that lies in the interior of an inscribed angle and
has endpoints on the angle is called the intercepted arc of the angle.
Examples:
B D

E
A F G H
C I
Figure 1 Figure 2 Figure 3

In Figure 1, ∠𝐵𝐴𝐶 is an inscribed angle and 𝐵𝐶 ̂ is the intercepted arc. The

center of the circle lies in the interior of the inscribed angle.
In Figure 2, ∠𝐷𝐸𝐹 is an inscribed angle and 𝐷𝐹 ̂ is the intercepted arc. The
center of the circle lies on one side of the inscribed angle.
In Figure 3, ∠𝐻𝐺𝐼 is an inscribed angle and 𝐻𝐼 ̂ is the intercepted arc. The center
of the circle lies in the exterior of the inscribed angle.

PRESENTATION
Theorems on Inscribed Angles
Theorem 1. If an angle is inscribed in a circle, then measure of an inscribed angle is
equal to one-half the measure of its intercepted arc.

GENERALIZATION/SYNTHESIS

• An inscribed angle is an angle whose vertex lies on the circle and whose sides
contain chords of the circle. The arc that lies in the interior of an inscribed angle
and has endpoints on the angle is called the intercepted arc of the angle.
• If an angle is inscribed in a circle, then measure of an inscribed angle is equal
to one-half the measure of its intercepted arc.
• If two inscribed angles of a circle (or congruent circles) intercept congruent arcs
or the same arc, then the angles are congruent.

Lesson 4 is about angle inscribed in a semi-circle, and properties of an
inscribed quadrilateral in a circle. In this lesson, you are given the opportunity to know
the geometric relationships and properties that exist among inscribed angle that

In lesson 3, you learned about the definition of inscribed angle and its
intercepted arc. You were able to prove two important theorems about the relationship
of the inscribed angle and its intercepted arc.
Those theorems gave you the opportunity to determine the geometric
relationships that exist among arcs and inscribed angles of a circle. Your
understanding of those previously learned geometric concepts and principles will
facilitate you further on the next succeeding lesson.
