What can you say about the figure?
Do you think you can
easily move heavy objects
from one place to another or
travel to distant places as fast
as you can?
What difficulty do you
think would you experience
without circles?
Have you ever thought of
the importance of circles in
the field of transportation,
industries, sports, navigation,
carpentry, and in your daily
life?
CIRCLE
“circle” comes from the Greek word “Kirkos”
which means ring
It is a set of an infinite number of points
equidistant from a fixed point called a center.

Example: In ⦿P
If is diameter, then mSLU =180
and mUXS =180
DEGREE MEASURE OF AN ARC
3. The degree measure of a major arc is equal to
360° minus the measure of the minor arc with
the same endpoints.
Example: In ⦿P
If mLU =120, then mUXL =360 -mLU 120°
mUXL = 360-120
mUXL = 240
THE ARC ADDITION POSTULATE
The measure of the arc formed by two
adjacent arcs is the sum of the measures
of the two arcs.
Example: Given mNE=75 and mEJ=45, fi nd
mNJ and mJMN
M
Using Arc Addition Postulate N
= 75 + 45
E
mNJ = 120

Let’s Try!
Solution:
mDE = 90°
Right angles measure 90
degrees.
Let’s Try!
Find the measure of arc DC
Solution:
mDC= (180-mBG)/2
=(180-82)/2
=98/2
mDC =49
