Math Problem Statement

Use the figure to name the indicated parts of the circle: Diameter, Radius, Center, Arc, Chord, Semicircle.

Solution

To answer the question based on the diagram provided, let's identify the indicated parts using the given figure:

  1. Diameter: A line that passes through the center of the circle and touches both ends of the circle. In this figure, the line ELEL appears to be the diameter.

  2. Radius: A line segment from the center of the circle to any point on the circumference. Here, VQVQ or QLQL could be the radius.

  3. Center: The central point of the circle from which all points on the circumference are equidistant. The point marked QQ represents the center.

  4. Arc: A curved line that is part of the circumference. The curved line VAVA represents the arc.

  5. Chord: A line segment whose endpoints lie on the circle but does not necessarily pass through the center. VAVA seems to be the chord in this figure.

  6. Semicircle: Half of the circle formed by the diameter. The arc ELEL, combined with the diameter, forms the semicircle.

Here are 5 related questions to expand on this topic:

  1. What is the relationship between a radius and a diameter in a circle?
  2. Can a chord also be a diameter?
  3. How do you calculate the length of an arc in a circle?
  4. What is the formula for the area of a semicircle?
  5. How are the central angle and the arc related in a circle?

Tip: The diameter of a circle is always twice the length of the radius.

Formulas

Diameter = 2 * Radius
Arc Length Formula: (θ / 360) * 2πr (where θ is the central angle and r is the radius)

Theorems

A diameter divides a circle into two equal semicircles.
A radius is always half of the diameter.
Any chord longer than the radius must pass through the circle's center.
