Introductory Message
This Self-Learning Module (SLM) is prepared so that you, our dear learners,
can continue your studies and learn while at home. Activities, questions,
directions, exercises, and discussions are carefully stated for you to understand
each lesson.

Each SLM is composed of different parts. Each part shall guide you step-by-
step as you discover and understand the lesson prepared for you.

Pre-tests are provided to measure your prior knowledge on lessons in each

SLM. This will tell you if you need to proceed on completing this module or if you
need to ask your facilitator or your teacher’s assistance for better understanding of
the lesson. At the end of each module, you need to answer the post-test to self-
check your learning. Answer keys are provided for each activity and test. We trust
that you will be honest in using these.

In addition to the material in the main text, Notes to the Teacher are also
provided to our facilitators and parents for strategies and reminders on how they
can best help you on your home-based learning.

Please use this module with care. Do not put unnecessary marks on any
part of this SLM. Use a separate sheet of paper in answering the exercises and
tests. And read the instructions carefully before performing each task.

If you have any questions in using this SLM or any difficulty in answering
the tasks in this module, do not hesitate to consult your teacher or facilitator.

Thank you.

1 Circles

In the previous lessons, you have learned about polygons, its convexity,
angles and sides. In this module, you will learn about circles. Do you know that
many practical problems in real-life situations can be solved using the concepts of
circles?

Let us begin by studying circles and the other terms related to it such as
radius, diameter chord, center, arc, chord, central angle and inscribed angle. Good
luck!

What’s In

Before we will discuss circles, let us review the previous lessons about polygons by
doing the activity below. Write your answer on a separate sheet of paper.

B. Tell whether the following is a polygon or not. If it is a polygon, classify

whether it is convex or nonconvex. Write your answer on a separate sheet of
paper.

 What is It

Let us familiarize ourselves with circles, its definitions and illustrations and the
terms related to it.

A circle is a closed curve, all points of which are equidistant from a fixed
point called the center.

Circles are named by their centers using capital letters.

The circle on the right is called circle O. In symbols, O.
O

Lines related to circle:

1. A radius is a segment whose one endpoint is in the center of the

circle and the other endpoint is any point on the circle.

Examples: J

OJ is a radius of circle O.
O OM is also a radius of circle O.

All radii of a circle are equal in

measures.
M

2. A chord is a segment whose endpoints are any of two different points

in the circle.

Examples: J

K JK is a chord of circle O.
O N MN is also a chord of circle O.

6
CO_Q3_Mathematics 7_Module 6
 3. A diameter is a chord which passes through the center of the circle.
It passes through the center of a circle. It is twice the length of a
radius.

Examples: J
P
JL is a diameter of circle O.
O MP is also a diameter of circle O.

All diameters of a
M
L circle have equal measures.

4. A secant is a line that contains a chord.

Examples: C

A AC is a secant of circle O.

B O BD is also a secant of circle O.

5. A tangent is a line in the plane of a circle that intersects the circle at

exactly one point. This point is called the point of tangency.

Example: E Y

X XY is a tangent of circle O whose

point of tangency is at point E.
O

S ST is also a tangent of O
I whose point of tangency is at
T point I.

Other basic terms related to circles are illustrated and defined as follows:

CO_Q3_Mathematics 7_Module 6
 A central angle is an angle formed by two rays whose vertex is the
center of the circle. Each ray intersects the circle at appoint, dividing it into
arcs.
A

A
central
angle AOD is a central angle.
O D
B

An arc is a part or a portion of a circle. The symbol for arc is .A

semicircle is an arc with a measure equal to one-half the circumference of a
circle. It is named using the two endpoints and another point in the arc.

Example: V

The curve from point V to point E is an arc. It is

part of the circle O and is named as arc VE or VE.
O E
Other arcs of circle O are EN, EV, VEN, VNE and
EVN.

If mVEN is one-half the circumference of O, then it is a semicircle.

A minor arc is an arc of the circle that measures less N

than a semicircle. It is named usually by using the two
endpoints of the arc.
A
Examples: JN, NE, and JE E
J

A major arc is an arc of the circle that measures

greater than a semicircle. It is named by using two
endpoints and another point on the arc.

Examples: JEN, JNE, and EJN

CO_Q3_Mathematics 7_Module 6
 An inscribed angle is an angle whose vertex lies on a circle and its
two sides are chords a circle. The arc that lies in the interior of an inscribed
angle and has endpoints on the angle is called the intercepted arc.

Examples:
H
HOT is an inscribed angle and its
intercepted arc is HT. The center of the circle is in
A the interior of the angle.
O
T

T
O TOP is an
inscribed angle and its
A intercepted arc is TP. One side
of the angle is the diameter of the
circle.

GEM is an inscribed angle and its

E intercepted arc is GM. The center of the circle is in
A the exterior of the angle.
