Chords, Arcs and Angles
Degree Measure of an Arc
1. The degree measure of a minor arc is
the measure of the central angle which
intercepts the arc.
In the figure, ∠ GEO intercepts 𝐺𝑂 ෽

2. The degree measure of a major arc is

equal to 360 minus the measure of the minor
arc with the same end points.
෽ =118° ,
If m ∠ GEO= 118°, what is m GO
3. The measure of a semicircle is 180°. ෿ = 360° - m GO
m OMG ෽
= 242°.
 Central Angles and Arcs
The measure of the central
angle is equal to the measure of
the intercepted arc.
What arc is intercepted by ∠CAB? BC
m ∠ BAC = m BC

If m ∠CAB = 78°, what is the measure of CB ? 78°

If m ∠CAB = 78°, what is the measure of BDC? 282°
If m CB = 85°, what is the measure of ∠CAB? 85°
Sector and Segment of a Circle
A sector of a circle is the region bounded by an arc of
the circle and the two radii to the end points of the arc.
To find the area of a sector of a circle, get the product
𝒎𝒆𝒂𝒔𝒖𝒓𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒂𝒓𝒄
of the ratio and the area of the circle.
𝟑𝟔𝟎

A segment of a circle is the region bounded by an arc

and the segment joining its and points.
Example: The radius of ⊙C is 10cm. If m𝐴𝐵෽ = 60,
what is the area of sector ACB?
Solution: To find the area of sector ACB:
measure of the arc
Area of sector = (Area of the circle)
360

60
Area of sector ACB = (100𝞹) cm²
360
50𝞹
= cm²

Arcs and Inscribed Angles
An inscribed angle is an angle whose vertex is on a circle and whose
sides contain chords of the circle. The arc that lies in the interior of an
inscribed angle and has endpoints on the angle is called the
intercepted arc of the angle.

෽
In Fig. 1, ∠LAP is an inscribed angle, and its intercepted arc is 𝐿𝑃.
෽
In Fig. 2, ∠TOP is an inscribed angle, and its intercepted arc is 𝑇𝑃.
In Fig. 3, ∠CGM is an inscribed angle, and its intercepted arc is ෾
𝐶𝑀.
 THEOREMS ON INSCRIBED ANGLES
The measure of the inscribed angle is equal to one-half the
measure of its intercepted arc (or the measure of the
intercepted arc is twice the measure of the inscribed angle).

Example: In the figure on the right,

∠ACT is an inscribed angle.
What is its intercepted arc? 𝐴𝑇෽
෽ = 120 °, what is m∠ACT ? m∠ACT = 60°
If m𝐴𝑇
෽ ? m෾
If m∠ACT = 76 °, what is m𝐴𝑇 𝐴𝑇 = 152 °
 THEOREMS ON INSCRIBED ANGLES
If two inscribed angles of a circle (or congruent circles) intercept
the same arc (congruent arcs) , then the angles are congruent.

In Fig. 1, ∠PIO and ∠PLO intercept In Fig. 2, ∠SIM and ∠ELP intercept
෽ , since ∠PIO and ∠PLO intercept
𝑃𝑂 ෽ and 𝐸𝑃
𝑆𝑀 ෽ ≅
෽ , respectively. If 𝑆𝑀
the same arc, the two angles, then, ෽ , then ∠SIM ≅ ∠ELP.
𝐸𝑃
are congruent.
 THEOREMS ON INSCRIBED ANGLES
If an inscribed angle of a circle intercepts a semicircle,
then the angle is a right angle.

Example:
In the figure, what arc is intercepted
by ∠NTE ? 𝑁𝑆𝐸 ෿

෿ is a semicircle, what kind of

If 𝑁𝑆𝐸
angle is ∠NTE ? right angle
 THEOREMS ON INSCRIBED ANGLES
If a quadrilateral is inscribed in a circle, then its opposite
angles are supplementary.
Example: Quadrilateral READ is inscribed in ⊙M.
Which angles are opposite?
∠RDA and ∠REA
∠DRE and ∠DAE
m ∠RDA + m∠REA = 180°
If m ∠RDA = 78° ,
m∠DRE + m∠DAE = 180° 102°
what is the m∠REA?
