\nIn a circle, the degree measure of an arc<\/strong> is equal to the measure of the central angle that intercepts the arc.
\nDefinition:<\/strong>
\nIn a circle, the length of an arc<\/strong> is a portion of the circumference.
\n
\nRemembering that the arc measure is the measure of the central angle, a definition can be formed as:
\nExample:<\/strong>
\nIn circle O, the radius is 8, and the measure of minor arc is 110 degrees. Find the length of minor arc to the nearest integer.
\nSolution:<\/strong>
\nUnderstanding how an arc is measured makes the next theorems common sense.
\nTheorem:<\/strong>
\nIn the same circle, or congruent circles, congruent central angles have congruent arcs.
\nTheorem: (converse)<\/strong>
\nIn the same circle, or congruent circles, congruent arcs have congruent central angles.
\nRemember: In the same circle, or congruent circles, congruent arcs have congruent chords. Knowing this theorem makes the next theorems seem straight forward.<\/p>\n
\nIn the same circle, or congruent circles, congruent central angles have congruent chords.
\nTheorem: (converse)<\/strong>
\nIn the same circle, or congruent circles, congruent chords have congruent central angles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
