Lesson: Central Angles and Arcs Mathematics • 11th Grade

In this lesson, we will learn how to identify central angles, use their measures to find measures of arcs, identify adjacent arcs, find arc lengths, and identify congruent arcs in congruent circles.

Lesson Plan

Students will be able to

understand that the measure of an arc is equal to the central angle opposite it,
understand that adjacent arcs are arcs in the same circle with only one point in common,
calculate the arc length using the measures of arcs or central angles in degrees,
understand that if the measures of two arcs in the same circle are equal, then so are the arc lengths,
understand that if the measures of two arcs in the same circle are equal, then their chords are equal in length and vice versa,
find missing angles in a circle in degrees using measures of arcs,
form and solve linear equations using measures of arcs in circles.
