Lesson 9-3 part 1.


Today in class we recieved are tests back, corrected them, and continued studying chapter 9: circles. 
In the test, no one got number ten right and Mrs. Saatkamp got really mad because no one knew what was the formula to solve quadratic equations. 
Quadratic formula:


Central Angle: an angle whose vertex is the center. 
The sum of all central angles will always be 360º. 

Arcs: a portion of the circumference of a circle. 
- minor arc: smaller arc (represented by 
- major arc: bigger arc  (usually represented by )

The MEASURE of an arc is equal to its central angle. 

The LENGTH of an arc is the ratio of central angle:360º times the circumference. 

Semicircle: an arc whose central angle is equivalent to 180º.

Postulate 9-1: Arc Addition postulate. 
two ADJACENT arcs can be added two form a greater one.
