The Correct Answer and Explanation is:
📘 Chapter 11 Topics Overview:
Chapter 11 focuses on Circles and Constructions:
- §11.1-11.3: Parts of a circle, central and inscribed angles, arc measures.
- §11.4-11.6: Tangents, segments in a circle, angle relationships.
- §11.7: Equations and constructions involving circles.
- Review: Definitions, conjectures, and overall circle geometry.
✅ Example Problem:
Section 11.1 – Pg 585, Problem 7
Question:
In the figure, a circle is centered at O. If arc AB measures 80°, what is the measure of angle AOB?
Correct Answer:
Angle AOB = 80°
📝 Explanation
To solve this problem, we need to understand the relationship between central angles and arcs. A central angle is an angle whose vertex is the center of the circle and whose sides are radii of the circle. The arc that lies between the sides of the central angle has the same degree measure as the angle itself.
In this problem, since O is the center of the circle, and points A and B lie on the circle, angle AOB is a central angle. The arc AB is the portion of the circle that spans from point A to point B. If the arc AB is measured at 80°, then angle AOB — the central angle intercepting that arc — also measures 80°.
This concept is one of the fundamental principles of circle geometry and is important because it leads into understanding more complex angle relationships such as inscribed angles, tangent-chord angles, and angles formed by intersecting chords. Knowing that the central angle is equal to the arc measure helps with many other problems in the chapter.
Understanding this relationship also assists with geometric constructions and proofs later in the chapter. For example, knowing angle and arc measures can help you solve for unknowns in diagrams or determine whether a triangle inscribed in a circle is a right triangle (based on a semicircle).
This type of reasoning is essential for success in geometry, especially as you prepare for the Quiz on Sections 11.1–11.3 and eventually the Chapter 11 Test. Always remember: central angle = arc it intercepts.
