Click on "Show Central Angle
".Look at the vertex (Point O) and the two sides (
and ) of central angle . What can we deduce about central angles?A CENTRAL ANGLE of a circle is an angle whose vertex is the circle and the sides are of the circle.
Click on "Show
" and "Show Positional Relationship..."Look at where is in relation to central angle
.Which of the following statements correctly depicts the positional relationship between a central angle (
) and its arc ().In Circle O, m
and m, then mIdentify each arc as a minor arc, major arc, or semicircle. Then find its measure.
Arc | Type of Arc | Arc Measure |
|---|---|---|
In Circle O,
.a) Name the minor arcs.

.Definitions and Properties of Arcs (GeoGebra Applet )
An is a set of points on the circle consisting of two endpoints and all the points between them.
Arcs can be measured in and/or .
There are three types of arcs:
is an arc which is one of the two arcs into which a diameter divides a circle.
Its measure is .
It is named by using points (first and last points are the and one other point on the arc)
A of a circle is an arc which is smaller than a semicircle.
Its measure is .
It is named by using points (its )
A of a circle is an arc which is larger than a semicircle.
Its measure is .
It is named using points (first and last points are the and one other point on the arc).
In the following slides, you will see that their exist relationships between the measure of the arcs and the angles that intercept them.
