The text defines and describes the different terms and concepts related to circles in geometry.

The text defines center point, radius, diameter, chord, arc, sector, tangent, and other parts of a circle.

The text discusses central angles, inscribed angles, and their relationships to intercepted arcs.

ANATOMY OF

CIRCLE
definition

CIRCLE
a round plane figure whose boundary (the
circumference) consists of points
equidistant from a fixed point called the
centerpoint
definition

CENTER POINT
• The center of the circle
• It is used to name a circle
definition

SEMICIRCLE
• half of a circle
• an arc measuring 180°
definition

CHORD
• a segment whose endpoints are any
points on the circle
• The diameter is the longest chord
definition

ARC
• a part or a portion of a circle
• Arcs are classified based on their
measurement
definition

CENTRAL ANGLE
• an angle with the vertex at the center of
the circle
• an angle formed by two radii
definition

INSCRIBED ANGLE
• an angle inside the circle
• an angle formed by two chords
intersecting on the circle
definition

INTERCEPTED ARC
• an arc opposite to an angle
• the arc cut by an angle
Unlocking of terms

Central Angle
• formed by two radii and with the vertex at the
center of the circle

Inscribed Angle
• formed by two cords intersecting (vertex) on the
circle

Intercepted Arc
• an arc opposite to an angle

1 revolution = 360°
1 arc = 90°
1 arc = 45°
CENTERPOINT

Prove that the circle is the
most elegant geometrical
shape by designing a
Mandala composed of arcs
and circles only.
It can be computer
generated or manually
drawn in a short bond
paper.
