Calculating Arc Measures in Circles: Minors, Majors, and Semicircles Explained

In this guide, we explore how to find the measures of arcs in circles, with a focus on major arcs, minor arcs, and semicircles. Using practical examples based on survey data involving teenagers' preferences for meeting famous personalities, we calculate specific arc measures, thoroughly explaining the processes involved. Through guided practice, you'll learn to distinguish between major and minor arcs and hone your skills in determining precise measurements, rounding out your understanding of circular geometry.

  1. Find the measure of each arc of P, where RTis a diameter. c. a. RTS RST RS b. a. RSis a minor arc, so mRS=mRPS=110o. b. – RTSis a major arc, so mRTS = 360o 110o = 250o. c. RT is a diameter, so RSTis a semicircle, and mRST=180o. EXAMPLE 1 Find measures of arcs SOLUTION

  2. Survey a. = + A recent survey asked teenagers if they would rather meet a famous musician, athlete, actor, inventor, or other person. The results are shown in the circle graph. Find the indicated arc measures. a. mAC mAB mBC mAC EXAMPLE 2 Find measures of arcs SOLUTION = 29o + 108o = 137o

  3. Survey b. A recent survey asked teenagers if they would rather meet a famous musician, athlete, actor, inventor, or other person. The results are shown in the circle graph. Find the indicated arc measures. mACD = mAC + mCD b. mACD EXAMPLE 2 Find measures of arcs SOLUTION = 137o + 83o = 220o

  4. Survey – mADC = 360o A recent survey asked teenagers if they would rather meet a famous musician, athlete, actor, inventor, or other person. The results are shown in the circle graph. Find the indicated arc measures. c. mAC c. mADC EXAMPLE 2 Find measures of arcs SOLUTION = 360o – 137o = 223o

  5. Survey A recent survey asked teenagers if they would rather meet a famous musician, athlete, actor, inventor, or other person. The results are shown in the circle graph. Find the indicated arc measures. mEBD = 360o – mED d. d. mEBD EXAMPLE 2 Find measures of arcs SOLUTION = 360o – 61o = 299o

  6. for Examples 1 and 2 GUIDED PRACTICE Identify the given arc as a major arc, minor arc, or semicircle, and find the measure of the arc.

  7. 1 . TQ TQis a minor arc, so m TQ=120o. 2 . QRT QRTis a major arc, so m QRT=240o. for Examples 1 and 2 GUIDED PRACTICE SOLUTION SOLUTION

  8. 3 TQRis a semicircle, so m TQR =180o. 4 . TQR . QS QSis a minor arc, so m QS =160o. for Examples 1 and 2 GUIDED PRACTICE SOLUTION SOLUTION

  9. 5 TSis a minor arc, so m TS =80o. 6 . TS . RST RSTis a semicircle, so m RST =180o. for Examples 1 and 2 GUIDED PRACTICE SOLUTION SOLUTION
