Mr. Buffington's tutorial covers the basics of arcs and chords in circles. It begins with an introduction to points and planes, then moves on to labeling parts of a circle, such as radius, diameter, and chords. The lesson explains central angles and their properties, emphasizing that they sum to 360 degrees. It also covers arc measurements, using formulas to calculate arc lengths, and discusses congruent chords and arcs. The tutorial is aligned with the 11th-grade Pennsylvania standard for geometry.

What is a point in geometric terms?

• A line with no width

• A place in space with no dimensions

• A shape with three sides

• A circle with a radius

How is a plane typically represented?

• With a square and a lowercase letter

• With a triangle and a number

• With a small circle

• With a parallelogram and a cursive letter

What is the distance from the center of a circle to any point on its circumference called?

• Diameter

• Chord

• Arc

• Radius

Which of the following is true about a diameter?

• It is half the radius

• It is a line that does not pass through the center

• It is a line segment from the center to the circumference

• It is the longest chord in a circle

What is a chord in a circle?

• A line segment that is half the diameter

• A line segment that passes through the center

• A line segment with endpoints on the circle

• A line segment that is twice the radius

What is the total measure of central angles in a circle?

• 90 degrees

• 180 degrees

• 270 degrees

• 360 degrees

How do you find a missing central angle in a circle?

• Add all known angles and subtract from 360 degrees

• Multiply all known angles by 2

• Divide all known angles by 2

• Subtract all known angles from 180 degrees

What is a semicircle?

• A full circle

• A quarter of a circle

• A circle with no radius

• Half of a circle

What is a minor arc?

• An arc that is exactly half of the circle

• An arc that is less than half of the circle

• An arc that is more than half of the circle

• An arc that is the entire circle

What is a major arc?

• An arc that is exactly half of the circle

• An arc that is more than half of the circle

• An arc that is the entire circle

• An arc that is less than half of the circle
