LOOKING BACK TO YOUR LESSON

Activity:
Circle can be drawn using compass, but there is an easy way to make a
circle even without compass. You can draw it yourself.
Materials Needed:
Board, Pin, String, and Pencil

Procedure:
Put a pin on the board, put a loop of string, and insert a
pencil into the loop. Keep the string stretched and draw
the circle.
You can play with it. Try dragging the point to see
how the radius and circumference change

BRIEF INTRODUCTION

Kilometer Zero
What is a kilometer zero? Kilometer
zero is a particular location (usually in the
nation’s capital) from which distances are
traditionally measured. Historically, they were
markers where drivers could set their
odometers to follow the directions in early
guide books. In the Philippines, one of the kilometer zero is located in front
of Rizal Monument in Rizal Park.
Kilometer markers such as the kilometer zero can be used for
navigation. The bus system also uses it to calculate the bus fares. In other
kilometer markers in the Philippines, you can see 3 important details: the
distance from kilometer 0 in Luneta, the initial of the next town/city, and
the distance to the next town/city.
Most people do not even know that there are kilometer markers that
exist. Sometimes we see it, but we ignore it all because we do not know
what its purpose or why is it there in the first place.
How might the concept of circles have influenced the way kilometer
zero was invented? What properties of a circle can you relate with the
concept of a kilometer zero? How can your knowledge about circles help
you in using navigation systems?

Circles are perhaps the most appealing of all simple geometric figures. For centuries,
artists have used the simple elegance of a circle in their designs. Some have crafted
intertwining patterns like a circle itself that has no beginning and no end.

A circle is a set of points in a plane equidistant (of

equal distance) from a fixed point. The fixed point is the
center while the fixed distance is the radius.
A circle will be denoted by a symbol ⊙. It will be
named after the center. In the given figure, you can call
it ⨀ O (read as circle O) because the center is O.
Lines Related to a Circle
A radius (plural, radii) of a circle is a line
segment from any point on the circle to its center.
A chord is a line segment connecting any two
points on the circle.
Any chord passing through the center of a circle
is called a diameter.
*The length of the diameter is equal to twice the
radius.
A secant is a line that intersects a circle at
exactly two points
A tangent is a line that intersects a circle at
exactly one point. This point is called the point of tangency or point of contact.
Example:
Refer to the given figure to give the correct term
for the following:
1.) O 5.) ̅̅̅̅
𝐴𝐺
̅̅̅̅
2.) 𝐴𝐵 6.) ̅̅̅̅
𝐶𝐸
̅̅̅̅
3.) 𝑂𝐴 ⃡
7.) 𝐶𝐸
4.) A ⃡
8.) 𝐴𝐷
Answer:
1.) Center 5.) diameter
2.) Chord 6.) Chord
3.) Radius 7.) Secant
4.) Point of tangency 8.) Tangent
Definition:
The interior of a circle is the collection of all points
in the plane of the circle whose distances from the
center are less than the radius. On the other hand, the
exterior is the collection of all points in the plane of
the circle whose distances from the center are greater
than the radius.
In figure 1, some of the points on the interior of ⨀ A
are D, C and A. Note that the center is always in the
interior of a circle.
Some of the points in the exterior of ⨀A are G, F,
and H.
Note: The points on the circle are neither on the exterior nor on the interior of the
same circle. In figure 1, point B is neither in the interior or in the exterior of ⨀A.

Arcs and Angles of Circles

In the given figure, the part of the circle from point A to
point B is called an arc (⏜ ), and the angle whose vertex is O
is called central angle.
Definition of Parts of a Circle
A central angle is an angle whose vertex is at the center
of the circle.
The minor arc 𝐴𝐵 ⏜ is the union of points A and B and all the points of the circle
in the interior of central ∠AOB.
The major arc 𝐴𝐶𝐵⏜ is the union of points A and B and all points of the circle in
the exterior of central ∠AOB.
The semicircle is the union of the endpoints of a diameter and all points of the
circle that lie on one side of the diameter.
A quadrant is an arc which is one fourth of a circle.
Note: A minor arc is named by its endpoints, while a major arc requires the use
of three points.
Definitions of Degree Measures of an Arc of a Circle
The degree measure of the minor arc is equal to the degree measure of the
central angle.
The degree measure of the major arc is equal to 360 minus the degree
measure of its related minor arc.
The degree measure of a semicircle is 180
An angle intercepts an arc if and only if
1.) The endpoints of the arc lie on the angle.
2.) Each side of the angle contains the endpoint of the arc, and
3.) Except for its endpoints the arc lies in the interior of the
angle.
In the figure, ∠AOB is a central angle having its vertex at O,
the center of the circle. ∠AOC and ∠COB are central angles.
⏜ is intercepted by ∠AOB. Likewise, 𝐶𝐵
In the figure, 𝐴𝐵 ⏜ is the
intercepted arc of ∠COB.

minor arc, a major arc, or a semicircle.

INSCRIBED ANGLES OF A CIRCLE

An angle is inscribed in an arc if its vertex is on the
arc and its sides are chords joining the vertex to the
endpoints of the arc.
⏜
In the figure, ∠BAC is inscribed in arc 𝐵𝐴𝐶. Note that
∠BQC intercepts 𝐵𝐶 ⏜ and it is a central angle. But the
⏜.
inscribed angle ∠BAC is also intercepting 𝐵𝐶

Activity 2: Magic Circles

A magic circle is a circular array of
numbers arranged in a special manner.
When the numbers along each diameter are
added, their sums are equal.

complete the magic circle below so that the
sum of the numbers along each diameter is
18. Each number must be used only once.
(Some numbers are filled in for you.)

CHECK YOUR UNDERSTANDING

\
The picture shown here is how kilometer zero
works. It is like a center of a circle where the major
thoroughfares encompass. Radial roads are like radius
that is connected to a fixed point which is the kilometer
0 marker.
Have you ever wondered how the global
positioning system (GPS) on your cellphone or car
works? Satellite communication and geometry(circle) is
the key. It is like how a kilometer marker worked.
Make a research on how GPS works on your

REFLECTIVE LEARNING SHEET

How do people around you affect you, and how do you deal with them? What
circle of friends do you have? Are you easily affected by many circumstances that
surround you?
Like a circle, you are the center and the radius and diameter may represent
how you want other people to affect you. The presence of chord, secant, and tangent
may represent good and bad situations in your life. They may intersect or hit you at
one point like the tangent or they may intersect or hit you at two points like secant
and chord. Situations in life may affect you in different ways. It is up to you to look
at it as positive or negative situations. Always see the good in every situation. No
matter what, know that the all-seeing God knows your situation. He knows where
the center (you) is.
“ God’s angel sets up a circle of protection around us while we pray.”
Psalm 34: 7
