10.1 Circles and

Circumference
 Name a circle by the letter at the center of the circle
 Diameter- segment that extends from one point on
the circle to another point on the circle through the
center point
 Radius- segment that extends from one point on
the circle to the center point
 Chord- segment that extends from one point on the
circle to another point on the circle
 Diameter=2 x radius (d=2r)
 Circumference: the distance around the circle
 C=2πr or C= πd

a. Find the circumference of a circle
to the nearest hundredth if its
radius is 5.3 meters.
b. Find the diameter and the radius of a circle to the

nearest hundredth if the circumference of the circle
is 65.4 feet.
10.2 Angles, Arcs and Chords
 10.2
 Semi-circle: half the circle (180 degrees)
 Minor arc: less than 180 degrees
 Name with two letters
 Major arc: more than 180 degrees
 Name with three letters
 Minor arc = central angle
 Arc length: arc   2r

Find the value of x.
 Find x and angle AZE
Find the measure
of each minor arc.
10.3 Arcs and Chords
 If two chords are congruent, then their arcs
are also congruent
 In inscribed quadrilaterals, the opposite
angles are supplementary
 If a radius or diameter is perpendicular to a
chord, it bisects the chord and its arc
 If two chords are equidistant from the center
of the circle, the chords are congruent
A If FE=BC, then arc FE =
B arc BC
Quad. BCEF is an
inscribed polygon –
F opposite angles are
supplementary
angles B + E = 180 &
angles F + C = 180
C Diameter AD is
perpendicular to chord EC
– so chord EC and arc EC
E are bisected
D
B You will need to
draw in the radius
yourself
E
*You can use the pythagorean
theorem to find the radius
A when a chord is perpendicular
X to a segment from the center
XE = XF so chord AB = chord CD
because they are
equidistant from the center
C F D
In the circle below, diameter QS is 14 inches
long and chord RT is 10 inches long. Find
VU.
10.4 Inscribed Angles
 Inscribed angle: an angle inside the circle
with sides that are chords and a vertex on
the edge of the circle
 Inscribed angle = ½ intercepted arc
 An inscribed right angle, always intercepts a
semicircle
 If two or more inscribed angles intercept the
same arc, they are congruent
A
Inscribed angles:
angle BAC, angle
CAD, angle DAE,
angle BAD, angle
X BAE, angle CAE
B
Ex: Angle DAE = ½ arc DE
C
E
D
A
Inscribed angle BAC

intercepts a semicircle- so
angle BAC =90
B C
Inscribed angles GDF and
D GEF both intercept arc
F GF, so the angles are
E congruent

10.5 Tangents
 Tangent: a line that shares only one point
with a circle and is perpendicular to the
radius or diameter at that point.
 Point of tangency: the point that a tangent
shares with a circle
 Two lines that are tangent to the same circle
and meet at a point, are congruent from that
point to the points of tangency
Lines AC and AF are
tangent to circle X at points
B and E respectively
-B and E are
points of tangency
X
Radius XB is perpendicular
C to tangent AC at the point of
F tangency
E B
AE and AB are congruent
because they are tangent to
A the same circle from the
same point
A. Copy the figure and draw the common
tangents to determine how many there are.
If no common tangent exists, choose no
common tangent.
10.6 Secants, Tangents, and
Angle Measures
 Secant and Tangent
 Interior angle = ½ intercepted arc
 Two Secants:
 Interior angle = ½ (sum of intercepted arcs)
 Two Secants
 Exterior angle = ½ (far arc – close arc)
 Two Tangents
 Exterior angle = ½ (far arc – close arc)

 seg1 x seg2 = seg1 x seg2
 Two Secants
 outer segment x whole secant =
outer segment x
