QUARTER 2 LESSON 3 IN MATH 10: THE CIRCLE AND ITS PARTS
A Circle is the set of all points on a plane that are equidistant to a fixed point called the center. A circle is named after its center.
An interior point of a circle is a point inside the circle.
An exterior point of a circle is a point outside the circle.
The circumference of a circle is the distance around the circle.
A point on the circle is a point in the circumference of the circle.
A radius is a segment joining the circle’s center and any point on the circle. All radii of a circle have equal lengths.
A chord is a segment joining any two points on a circle.
A diameter is a chord that passes through the center of the circle. It contains two radii and is twice the length of a radius.
A tangent is a ray, segment, or line that intersects the circle at exactly one point. This intersection is called the point of tangency.
A secant is a ray, segment or line that intersects the circle at two points. A secant always contains a chord.
An arc is a part of the circle between any two points on the circle. It is measured in terms of degrees. A circle is in itself an arc that measures 360°. Half the circle is called a semicircle. An arc less than a semicircle is a minor arc and an arc greater than a semicircle is a major arc.
A central angle is formed by two radii whose vertex is the center of the circle.
An inscribed angle is an angle whose vertex is on the circle and whose sides are chords or contains a chord.
An intercepted arc is formed when two lines go through the circumference of the circle and share a common point, or vertex.
The area of a circle is the amount of region bounded by the circle.
A sector of a circle is a specific area of the circle bounded by two radii and an arc.
A segment of a circle is a specific area of the circle bounded by an arc and the segment joining its endpoints.
