The document defines key terms related to circles and angles: - A central angle is an angle whose vertex is at the center of a circle. An arc is an unbroken part of a circle between two points, and its measure is defined as the measure of the central angle. - Other terms defined include radius, diameter, chord, semicircle, minor arc, major arc, congruent circles, congruent arcs, inscribed angle, and intercepted arc. - The inscribed angle theorem states that an inscribed angle is half the measure of the central angle intercepting the same arc.

Math Central Angle

Lesson 1 - Is an angle whose vertex is at the center of


a circle
Descartes’ rule of Signs
Arc
- To determine the number of real zeros of a
polynomial function - Is an unbroken part of a cicrcle. It consist of
- This rule was developed by the French all points on a circle between (and
Mathematician Rene Descartes including) two given points.
- Is denoted by the symbol arc placed above
A polynomial is said to have a variation in sign if two the endpoints
consecutive terms have opposite signs.
Central Angle
Upper Bound – positive integers; positive outcome
- Note that the measure of an arc is defined
Lower Bound – negative integers; alternate as the measure of the central angle

Semi Circle
Graphs of Polynomial Functions - Is an arc with the measure 180° whose
Turning point - endpoints are the endpoints of a diameter
- Is named using three points
- Is a curve that is higher or lower than all
points located nearby The entire circle is then the arc intercepted by one
- This occurs when the function changes from complete revolution. Its measure is 360°
sloping upwards to sloping downwards or Minor Arc
vice versa
- Is an arc which is smaller than a semicircle
Lesson 2 - Its measure (and that of its central angle) is
Circle less than 180°
- Is named by using only two points, which
- Is the set of all points having the same are two endpoints of the arc
distance from a fixed point
- The fixed point is at the center Major Arc

Radius - Is an arc which is bigger than a semicircle


- Its measure (and that of its central angle) is
- It is a segment having as its endpoint the greater than 180°
center and a point on the circle - Is named by using three points (sometimes
by using only two points) in the same way
Chord
that we name a semicircle
- It is a segment whose endpoints lie on the
Congruent Circles – are the circles with congruent
circle
radii
- A line segment that joins point A and B
Congruent Arc – are arcs of a circle or of congruent
Diameter
circles that have equal measures
- It is a chord which passes through the
center, it is the longest chords, and its
length is twice the radius
Inscribed Angle and Intercepted Arc

Inscribed angle – it is an angle whose vertex lies on


the circle and whose sides are determined by two
chords

Intercepted arc – it is an arc that lies in the interior


of an inscribed angle

Inscribed Angle Theorem

- An inscribe angle is half the measure of the


central angle intercepting the same arc
