-
Name two minor arcs.
- Minor arcs are smaller than 180°. In the figure:
- Minor arcs: PQ and RS.
- Minor arcs are smaller than 180°. In the figure:
-
What is the measure of a semicircular arc?
- A semicircular arc spans half the circle, measuring 180°.
-
What is the measure of arc RST?
- Arc includes the angle . The measure of arc is:
-
What is arc PSR called?
- Arc is greater than 180°, so it is called a major arc.
-
What is the measure of arc RPS?
- Arc excludes , which is 100°. Thus, its measure is:
-
Name the radius of the circle.
- The radius is , as shown in the diagram.
-
If the radius is 5 cm, what will be the diameter?
- The diameter is twice the radius:
-
If the diameter is 21 cm, calculate the circumference.
- The circumference is given by:
-
What is the perimeter of the circle called?
- The perimeter of the circle is called the circumference.
-
What is the measure of the circle?
- The measure of a full circle is .
