Mathematics 10 Quarter 2 Module 3: The Relations among Chords, Arcs, Central Angles and Inscribed Angles

This is the Grade 10 Mathematics Quarter 2 Module 3 self-learning module, The Relations among Chords, Arcs, Central Angles and Inscribed Angles (First Edition, 2020). It was developed by the Department of Education – Cordillera Administrative Region for home-based learning under the Alternative Delivery Mode. After working through it, learners should be able to name the parts of a circle and derive inductively how chords, arcs, central angles, and inscribed angles are related.

What learners will learn

The module states that it will help learners:

  • define, identify, name, and illustrate the parts of a circle
  • derive inductively the relations among chords, arcs, central angles, and inscribed angles

Lessons in this module

  • Lesson 1: Chords, Arcs, and Central Angles. Learners name the parts of a circle and classify arcs. They also learn that a central angle and the arc it intercepts have the same measure.
  • Lesson 2: Chords, Arcs, and Inscribed Angle. Learners identify inscribed angles and their intercepted arcs. They learn that an inscribed angle measures one-half of its intercepted arc.

The module also has a pretest (What I Know), a review of circle terms (What’s In), a 15-item Assessment, an Additional Activity on arc length, sectors, and segments, and an answer key.

Key terms about circles

The module’s “Gallery of Knowledge” reviews these terms:

TermMeaning in the module
CircleThe set of all points the same distance from a fixed point, the center. The center names the circle (circle A or ⊙A).
RadiusA segment from the center to a point on the circle
ChordA segment whose endpoints are on the circle
DiameterA chord through the center; the longest chord, twice the radius
TangentA line, segment, or ray that meets the circle at exactly one point (the point of tangency)
SecantA line, segment, or ray that meets the circle at exactly two points

Key ideas in Lesson 1: arcs and central angles

  • An arc is the part of a circle between two points, measured in degrees. A whole circle measures 360°.
  • A semicircle is half a circle and measures exactly 180°. It is named with three points, with the endpoints of the diameter first and last.
  • A minor arc measures between 0° and 180° and is named by its two endpoints.
  • A major arc measures between 180° and 360° and is named with three points.
  • A central angle is formed by two radii, with its vertex at the center.
  • Sum of central angles: central angles with no common interior points add up to 360°.
  • Arc Addition Postulate: the measure of an arc formed by two adjacent arcs that share exactly one point is the sum of their measures. In the module’s example, 60° + 90° = 150°.

The main result of Lesson 1 is that the measure of a central angle equals the measure of its intercepted arc. So if ∠LCM measures 45°, arc LM also measures 45°. Vertical central angles are congruent, so their intercepted arcs are congruent too.

Key ideas in Lesson 2: inscribed angles

An inscribed angle has its vertex on the circle, and its sides contain chords of the circle. The module shows three cases:

  1. The center lies on one side of the angle.
  2. The center lies inside the angle.
  3. The center lies outside the angle.

The main result is that the measure of an inscribed angle is one-half the measure of its intercepted arc. In the module’s example, central ∠ACD = 100°, so arc AD = 100°. Inscribed ∠AED intercepts arc AD, so it measures ½(100) = 50°. Inscribed ∠ABD intercepts the same arc, so it also measures 50°.

More on circles (Additional Activity)

  • Arc length: use the proportion A/360 = l/2πr, where A is the arc’s degree measure, l is the arc length, and r is the radius. A 60° arc of a circle with a 5 cm radius is about 5.23 cm long.
  • Area of a sector: multiply (measure of the arc ÷ 360) by the area of the circle. For a 60° sector of a circle with an area of 78.5 sq. cm, the area is about 13.08 sq. cm.
  • Area of a segment: subtract the area of the triangle formed by the two radii and the chord from the area of the sector. In the example, 13.08 − 5.41 = 7.67 sq. cm.

The activity also lists these facts about circles:

  • All radii of the same circle are congruent.
  • In a circle or in congruent circles, two minor arcs are congruent if and only if their central angles are congruent.
  • Two minor arcs are also congruent if and only if their chords are congruent.
  • A diameter bisects a chord and its arc if and only if the diameter is perpendicular to the chord.

How to use this module

  • Learners: Start with the 15-item pretest. It shows whether you can go ahead or need help from your teacher. Then work through Lessons 1 and 2 in order: What’s New, What is It, What’s More, What I Have Learned, and What I Can Do. Finish with the Assessment and the Additional Activity. Write your answers on a separate sheet, not on the module. Use the answer key honestly to check your work.
  • Performance tasks: In Lesson 1, you collect three pictures of chords, arcs, and central angles in real life, paste them on one long bond paper, and explain each one. In Lesson 2, you help Mr. Cruz find the center of his circular garden so he can place a fountain. The answer key’s suggested approach uses two chords and their perpendicular bisectors.
  • Parents and facilitators: The module provides Notes to the Teacher with strategies for helping learners at home. Encourage your child to read the instructions carefully and to ask the teacher when a task is unclear.
  • Teachers: Rubrics are printed for the written wrap-up questions (4 points), the picture task (content and picture, 5 points each), and the problem-solving tasks (5 points).

What’s In

Start this module by reviewing some of the terms related to circle for you to be able to go on with the activities. Read the given terms and definitions.

Gallery of Knowledge

A circle is a set of all points with the same distance from a fixed point called the center. The center is used to name a circle. Example: circle A or ⊙A

A radius of a circle is a segment whose endpoints are the center and a point on the circle. It is the distance from the center to any point on the circle. Example: $\overline{AJ}$, $\overline{AN}$, $\overline{AE}$

A chord of a circle is a line segment that has its endpoints on the circle. Example: $\overline{LE}$, $\overline{JE}$, $\overline{EN}$

A diameter of a circle is a chord that passes through the center of the circle. It is the longest chord of a circle and its length is twice as long as its radius. Example: $\overline{JE}$

A tangent is a line, a segment, or a ray that intersects a circle at exactly one point, and the point of intersection is called the point of tangency. Example: line s with point L as the point of tangency

A secant is a line, a segment, or a ray that intersects a circle at exactly two points. Example: $\overleftrightarrow{NE}$ or $\overline{NE}$ or $\overrightarrow{NE}$

[illustration: circle A with points J, L, N, E, S; labeled parts: tangent (line through L), chord (LE), diameter (JE), radius (AN), secant (line through N and E)]

What is It

The prior knowledge and skills you have on circle will help you understand it even more. As you undergo with the lesson, be guided by the question: “How do the relationships among chords, arcs, and central angles of a circle facilitate finding solutions to real-life problems and develop skills in decision making?” To find the answer, perform each activity. You may refer to the modules you have studied or to other references.

Lesson 1: Chords, Arcs, and Central Angles

What’s New

  1. $\overline{AJ}$, $\overline{AE}$, $\overline{AN}$
  2. $\overline{JE}$
  3. $\overline{LE}$, $\overline{JE}$, $\overline{EN}$
  4. $\widehat{JNE}$ or $\widehat{JLE}$
  5. $\widehat{LJ}$, $\widehat{LN}$, $\widehat{LE}$, $\widehat{EN}$

  7. $\angle JAN$, $\angle NAE$
  8. A
  9. $\widehat{JN}$ in relation to $\angle A$ and $\angle JEN$, $\widehat{LN}$ in relation to $\angle LEN$

An arc is a part of a circle between any two points. It is measured in terms of degrees. A circle is in itself an arc that measures 360°. Arcs can be classified as minor, semicircle, and major. The symbol ̂ is used to denote an arc.

A semicircle is an arc which is one-half of a circle. It measures exactly 180°. A minor arc is less than a semicircle and its measure is between 0° and 180° while a major arc is greater than a semicircle which measures between 180° and 360°.

[illustration: circle with center A, points J, N, L, and E on the circle, chords and a line labeled S]

A minor arc is named using the two endpoints of the arc. A semicircle is named using three points. The first and the third points are the endpoints of the diameter and the middle point is any point of the arc between the endpoints. In cases where there are only two points given on a circle, the semicircle is named using the two points. Lastly, a major arc is named using three points. The first and the third are the endpoints and the middle point is any point on the arc between the endpoints. Using ⊙A,

𝐽𝑁̂𝐸 and 𝐽𝐿̂𝐸 are semicircles;

𝐽𝑁̂ is a minor arc; and

𝐽𝐿𝑁̂ and 𝑁𝐸𝐿̂ are major arcs.

A central angle of a circle is an angle formed by two radii and its vertex is the center of the circle. Using ⊙A,

∠𝐽𝐴𝑁, ∠𝑁𝐴𝐸 and ∠𝐽𝐴𝐸 are central angles.

An intercepted arc is created when lines or subsets of a line cuts across a section of the circumference of a circle. The intersection of the lines or subsets of it are on the circle, thus forming an inscribed angle. Using ⊙A,

𝐿𝑁̂ is a minor arc intercepted by inscribed ∠LEN and

𝐽𝑁̂ is a minor arc intercepted by ∠JEN and ∠JAN.

Sum of Central Angles

The sum of the measures of the central angles of a circle with no common interior points is 360°. In the figure, ∠1, ∠2, ∠3, and ∠4 are examples of central angles without common interior points. Thus,

m∠1 + m∠2 + m∠3 + m∠4 = 360.

[illustration: circle divided by radii into four central angles labeled 1, 2, 3, and 4]

The examples below show the relationship between the central angle intercepting the arc of a circle. Using ⊙C, the following can be shown:

central ∠FCG intercepts 𝐹𝐺̂;

central ∠ECI intercepts 𝐸𝐼̂;

central ∠ACG intercepts 𝐺𝐵𝐴̂;

𝐴𝐼̂ is intercepted by central angle ∠ACI; and

𝐹𝐷𝐻̂ is intercepted by central angle ∠FCH.

[illustration: circle with center C and points A, B, D, E, F, G, H, I on the circle]

Arc Addition Postulate

The measure of an arc formed by two adjacent nonoverlapping arcs (arcs that share exactly one point) is equal to the sum of the measures of these two arcs. Using ⊙D,

m𝐴𝐶̂ = m𝐴𝐵̂ + m𝐵𝐶̂

m𝐴𝐶̂ = 60 + 90

m𝐴𝐶̂ = 150

[illustration: circle D with points A, B, and C on the circle; central angles labeled 60° and 90°]

Example: Determine the measures of the given arcs and angles. Refer to the figure that follows. 𝐶 is the center of the circle while the other points are points on the circle.

  1. m∠2 or m∠𝐿𝐶𝑀

Solution: The measure of ∠2 is 45°.

  1. m𝐿𝑀̂

Solution: The measure of 𝐿𝑀̂ is 45° because the measure of ∠𝐿𝐶𝑀 that intercepts 𝐿𝑀̂ is 45°.

  1. measure of 𝑋𝑄̂

Solution: 𝑋𝑄̂ is 30°. ∠XCQ and ∠RCO are vertical angles and a pair of vertical angles are congruent. It follows that their intercepted arcs also are congruent.

  1. measure of 𝐿𝑁̂

Solution: The measure of 𝐿𝑁̂ is 90°. The intercepted arc of ∠LCM is 45°. Through the Arc Addition Postulate, we can say that the sum of the measures of 𝐿𝑀̂ and 𝑀𝑁̂ is equal to the measure of 𝐿𝑁̂.

Lesson 2: Chords, Arcs, and Inscribed Angle

In Lesson 1, we talked about the relationships among chords, arcs, and central angles. We learned that the measure of a central angle is equal to the measure of its intercepted arc. Conversely, the degree measure of an arc is equal to the measure of the central angle that intercepted it.

In Lesson 2, we will be dealing about the relationships among chords, arcs, and inscribed angles. As you go through this lesson, be guided by the question “How are the relationships among arcs and inscribed angles of a circle used in finding solutions to real-life problems and in making decisions?” In order to find the answers, perform the succeeding activities. You may refer to the other modules studied earlier or to other references.

What’s New
Read and Draw

Read the instructions carefully and do what are being asked for.

Name the circle ⊙𝐴. On the circle, locate a point and name it 𝑋. Locate two more points, 𝑌 and 𝑍, on the circle such that when you connect points 𝑋, 𝑌, and 𝑍 they will form an equilateral triangle inside the circle.

[illustration: empty circle for drawing]

What is It

In the activity that you have just done you were able to illustrate examples of inscribed angles.

An inscribed angle is an angle whose vertex lies on the circle and the sides contain chords of the circle. Using ⊙𝐴, ∠𝑌 intercepts 𝑋𝑍̂, ∠𝑋 intercepts 𝑌𝑍̂, and ∠𝑍 intercepts 𝑋𝑌̂.

[illustration: circle A with an inscribed equilateral triangle XYZ]

There are three different ways or cases in which an angle can be inscribed in a circle.

[illustration: circle with points A, B, C and center X; a chord from B passes through the center][illustration: circle with points A, B, C and center X; the center lies in the interior of the inscribed angle][illustration: circle with points A, B, C and center X; the center lies outside the inscribed angle]
The center of the circle is on one side of the inscribed angle.The center of the circle is in the interior of the inscribed angle.The center of the circle is on the exterior of the inscribed angle.

Arcs and Angles

Arcs and Angles

Study these examples.

Given ⊙𝐶:

𝐻𝐷̂ is intercepted by ∠𝐻𝐹𝐷;

𝐴𝐵̂ is intercepted by ∠𝐴𝐺𝐵;

𝐻𝐴̂ is intercepted by ∠𝐻𝐹𝐴;

∠𝐷𝐺𝐹 intercepts 𝐷𝐹̂; and

∠𝐻𝐹𝐺 intercepts 𝐻𝐺̂.

[illustration: circle C with points A, B, D, E, F, G, H on the circle and inscribed angles drawn as chords]

Arc and Angle Measure

The measure of an inscribed angle is equal to one-half the measure of its intercepted arc.

Example: In ⊙𝐶, m∠ACD = 100, find

a. measure of 𝐴𝐷̂;

b. measure of ∠𝐴𝐸𝐷;

c. measure of ∠𝐴𝐵𝐷.

[illustration: circle C with points A, B, D, E; center C joined to A and D]

Solution:

a. The measure of central ∠ACD is equal to its intercepted arc 𝐴𝐷̂. Thus, m𝐴𝐷̂ = m∠ACD = 100.

b. The inscribed ∠AED intercepts 𝐴𝐷̂.

So, m∠AED = ½ m𝐴𝐷̂ = ½(100) = 50.

c. Both ∠ABD and ∠AED are inscribed angles to intercepted arc 𝐴𝐷̂. Since ∠AED measures 50°, then ∠ABD also measures 50°.

More on Circles Please
  1. Arc Length – The length of an arc can be determined by using the proportion 𝐴/360 = 𝑙/2𝜋𝑟, where 𝐴 is the degree measure of the arc, 𝑙 is the arc length, and 𝑟 is the radius of the circle.

Example: What is the length of a 60° arc of ⊙𝐴 whose radius is 5 𝑐𝑚 long?

𝐴/360 = 𝑙/2𝜋𝑟 60/360 = 𝑙/(2 × 3.14 × 5) 1/6 = 𝑙/31.4 𝑙 = (31.4 × 1)/6 𝑙 = 5.23 𝑐𝑚

  1. Sector of a Circle – A sector of a circle is the region bounded by an arc of the circle and the two radii or radiuses to the endpoints of the arc. In finding the area of a sector, we multiply the 𝑚𝑒𝑎𝑠𝑢𝑟𝑒 𝑜𝑓 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑎𝑟𝑐/360 and the area of the circle.

Example: The area of ⊙A is 78.5 𝑠𝑞𝑢𝑎𝑟𝑒 𝑐𝑚. What is the area of sector BAC, the shaded region of ⊙A?

𝐴𝑟𝑒𝑎 𝑜𝑓 𝑆𝑒𝑐𝑡𝑜𝑟 𝐵𝐴𝐶 = (𝑚𝑒𝑎𝑠𝑢𝑟𝑒 𝑜𝑓 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑎𝑟𝑐/360) × 𝐴𝑟𝑒𝑎_𝑐𝑖𝑟𝑐𝑙𝑒 𝐴𝑟𝑒𝑎 𝑜𝑓 𝑆𝑒𝑐𝑡𝑜𝑟 𝐵𝐴𝐶 = (60/360) × 78.5 𝐴𝑟𝑒𝑎 𝑜𝑓 𝑆𝑒𝑐𝑡𝑜𝑟 𝐵𝐴𝐶 = (1/6) × 78.5 𝐴𝑟𝑒𝑎 𝑜𝑓 𝑆𝑒𝑐𝑡𝑜𝑟 𝐵𝐴𝐶 = 13.08 𝑠𝑞𝑢𝑎𝑟𝑒 𝑐𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑖𝑚𝑒𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑠

[illustration: circle A with sector BAC shaded; points B and C on the circle; radius labeled 5 cm; angle labeled 60°]

Segment of a Circle – A segment of a circle is the region bounded by an arc and the segment/chord joining its endpoints. To find the area of a sector, we subtract the area of the triangle formed by the radii and the chord from the area of the whole sector where the segment of the circle is found.

Example: What is the area of the segment/shaded region in ⊙A? 𝐵𝐶̅̅̅̅ = 5 𝑐𝑚 and the area of △𝐵𝐴𝐶 = 5.41 𝑠𝑞. 𝑐𝑚.

[illustration: circle A with triangle BAC drawn; the segment between chord BC and arc BC is shaded; 5 cm and 60° labeled]

𝐴𝑠𝑒𝑔𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡 = 𝐴_𝑠𝑒𝑐𝑡𝑜𝑟 𝐵𝐴𝐶 − 𝐴△𝐵𝐴𝐶 𝐴_𝑠𝑒𝑔𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡 = 13.08 𝑠𝑞. 𝑐𝑚 − 5.41 𝑠𝑞. 𝑐𝑚 𝐴_𝑠𝑒𝑔𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡 = 7.67 𝑠𝑞𝑢𝑎𝑟𝑒 𝑐𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑖𝑚𝑒𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑠

What I Have Learned

The measure of a central angel and the arc it intercepts are equal. If the measure of the central angle is between zero and 180 degrees, then the arc it intercepts is a minor arc. Furthermore, if the measure of the central angle is 180 degrees, then the arc it intercepts is a semicircle and it measures exactly 180 degrees. Moreover, if the measure of the central angle is between 180 and 360 degrees, then the arc it intercepts is a major arc.
