2. CIRCLE-LENGTH OF THE ARC & AREA OF A
SECTOR
Circleis a set of all points in the plane which are equidistant
from a given point, called the centre of a circle.
3. CIRCLE-LENGTH OF THE ARC & AREA OF A
SECTOR
An arc of a circle is a "portion" of
the circumference of the circle.
In a circle, the length of an arc is
the length of the portion of the
circumference.
ARC OF THE CIRCLE
4. CIRCLE-LENGTH OF THE ARC & AREA OF A
SECTOR
In a circle, the degree measure of
an arc is equal to the measure of
the central angle that intercepts
the arc.
DEGREE MEASURE OF AN
ARC
m∠ AOB = 50o ∴ m(arc AB) = 50o
m∠ COB = 80o ∴ m(arc BC) = 80o
m∠ DOC = 50o ∴ m(arc DC) = 50o
