Minor and Major Arcs

Circles Unit Test Review

​Parts of a circle

Center: You name a circle by its center.

Radius: A segment from a point on the circle to the circle’s center

Chord: A segment whose endpoints lie on the circle
Diameter: A chord that goes through the center of the circle

Secant: A line that intersects a circle at two points

Tangent: A line or segment that intersects a circle at exactly one point

3 Types of Arcs: semicircles, minor arcs, and major arcs.

A semicircle is an arc of a circle whose endpoints are the endpoints of a diameter. The measure of a semicircle is 180°.

A minor arc is an arc of a circle that is less than a semicircle of the circle. The measure of a minor arc is less than 180°.

A major arc is an arc of a circle that is greater than a semicircle of the circle. The measure of a major arc is greater than 180°.

Equation of a circle

(x-h)²+(y-k)²=r²

• What does (h,k) represent?

• What does r represent?

Two things to remember when finding an equation of a circle

You square your radius before putting it in the equation

​Square r

(h,k) becomes -h and -k in your equation.

Central and Inscribed Angles

Central Angle: Angle at the center of the circle



Inscribed Angle: Angle formed by two chords with a common endpoint

• The measure of an inscribed angle is half the measure of the intercepted arc

Inscribed Angles

• The measure of a central angle is equal to the measure of the intercepted arc

Angles Formed by Chords, Secants, & Tangents

Inside Angles

• When two chords intersect inside the circle, the measure of each angle formed is half the sum of the measures of the arcs intercepted by the angle and its vertical angle

• Formula:

  • (a+b)/2

Angles Formed by Chords, Secants, & Tangents

Outside Angles

• The measure of an angle formed by secants and/or tangents that intersect outside the circle is half the difference of the measure of the intercepted arc

• Formula:

  • (a-b)/2

  • (big-small)/2
