  • A central angle for a circle is an angle with its vertex at the center of the circle and with endpoints B and C located on a circle's .   
    ::圆的中角是圆的中心角,其顶点在圆的中心,端点B和C位于圆的圆上。

    Central Angle of a Circle A B C D A B C B C D B C D B C Central Angle of a Circle

    In the circle above, A is the center and B A C is a central angle. Notice that the central angle meets the circle at two points ( B and C ), dividing the circle into two sections. Each of circle portions is called an arc . The smaller arc (smaller than the semicircle) is called the minor arc , and is considered the arc that is intercepted by the central angle. The larger of the two arcs is called the major arc .
    ::在上方的圆圈中, A 是中心, 并且 {BAC 是一个中心角度 。 请注意, 中心角度在两个点( B和 C) 与圆形相匹配, 将圆形分为两个部分。 圆形的每个部分称为弧。 较小的弧( 比半圆弧小的) 被称为小弧, 并被视为被中心角度截取的弧。 两个弧中的大弧称为大弧 。

    The minor arc below is named B C ^ . Notice that B and C are the endpoints of the arc and there is an arc symbol above the letters indicating that you are referring to an arc.
    ::下面的次要弧名为 BCQ。 请注意 B和 C 是弧的终点, 在字母上方有一个弧符号, 表示您指的是弧 。

    The major arc below is named B D C ^ . When naming a major arc you should use three letters so that it is clear you are referring to the larger portion of the circle.
    ::下面的主要弧名为 BDC 。 当命名一个大弧时, 您应该使用三个字母, 这样您可以清楚地看到您指的是圆圈的较大部分 。

    Arcs can be measured in degrees just like angles. In general, the degree measure of a minor arc is equal to the measure of the central angle that intercepts it . Because there are 360 in a circle, the sum of the measures of a minor arc and its corresponding major arc will be 360 .
    ::弧可以用与角度相同的度量度来测量弧。 一般来说, 小弧的度量等于截取弧的中角的度量。 因为圆圈里有 360 , 小弧的度量及其相应的大弧的度量总和将是 360 。

    A chord of a circle is a straight line segment whose endpoints both lie on the circle. If a chord passes through the center of the circle then it is a diameter . In the circle below, C E ¯ is a chord.
    ::一个圆的和弦是一个直线段,其终点都位于圆上。如果一个和弦穿过圆的中心,则是一个直径。在下面的圆中,CE是一个和弦。

    Each chord has a corresponding arc. C E ¯ is a chord and C E ^ is an arc.
    ::每个和弦都有相应的弧。 和弦是和弦,和弦是弧。

    In the interactive above, if D was not on the circle, we would not be able to tell the difference between B C ^ and B D C ^ . There are 360 in a circle, where a semicircle is half of a circle, or 180 . m E F G = 180 , because it is a straight angle , so m E H G ^ = 180 and m E J G ^ = 180 .
    ::在上述互动中,如果D不在圆圈内,我们无法辨别BC和BDC之间的差别。在圆圈内,有360半圆,半圆半圆,或180.mEFG=180,因为它是一个直角,所以是mEHG180和MEJG180。

    Let's take a look at a few problems involving central angles and chords.
    ::让我们来看看几个问题 涉及到中心角度和和弦。

    1. Find m C A E and m C D E ^ .
    ::1. 寻找mCAE和mCDE。

    The degree measure of a minor arc is equal to the measure of the central angle that intercepts it. Therefore, m C A E = 140 . A full circle is 360 , so
    ::小弧的度量等于截取该弧的中心角的度量。 因此, mCAE=140 。 一个整圆是 360 , 所以是 360 。

    m C D E ^ = 360 C A E = 360 140 = 220
    ::mCDE360CAE=360140220

    2. Prove that two chords are congruent if and only if their corresponding arcs are congruent.
    ::2. 证明两个和弦是一致的,如果而且只有在相应的和弦是一致的时才如此。

    This statement has two parts that you must prove.
    ::本陈述分为两部分,你们必须证明。

    1. If two arcs are congruent then their corresponding chords are congruent.
      ::如果两个弧是一致的,那么它们相应的和弦是一致的。
    2. If two chords are congruent then their corresponding arcs are congruent.
      ::如果两个和弦是一致的,那么它们相应的弧是一致的。

    Both statements can be proved by finding . Consider the circle below with center A .
    ::两种语句都可以通过找到 来证明 。 请考虑下面的圆和中心 A 。

    Start by proving statement #1. Let there be two arcs C D ^ and F E ^ such that C D ^ F E ^ . This would imply that m C D ^ = m F E ^ .
    ::首先证明声明 #1. 让两个弧 CD 和 FE 来证明CD\ FE。 这意味着 mCD\ mFE 。

    Join C A ¯ ,   D A ¯ ,   E A ¯ and F A ¯ as shown in the figure.
    ::加入CA,DA,EA,AFA,如图所示。

      Statements Reasons
    In A C D and A F E    
      C A D = F A E Measure of an arc is the same as the measure of its corresponding angle.
      C A ¯ = F A ¯ Radii of the same circle
      D A ¯ = E A ¯ Radii of the same circle
      C A D F A E By
      C D ¯ F E ¯ By

    Now prove the converse (statement #2). Let there be two chords C D ¯ F E ¯ .
    ::现在证明相反的一面(声明2),

    Join C A ¯ ,   D A ¯ ,   E A ¯ and F A ¯ as shown in the figure.
    ::加入CA,DA,EA,AFA,如图所示。

      Statements Reasons
    In A C D and A F E    
      C D ¯ = F E ¯ Given
      C A ¯ = F A ¯ Radii of the same circle
      D A ¯ = E A ¯ Radii of the same circle
      C A D F A E By
      C A D F A E By CPCTC

    This implies that the arcs intercepted by these angles are congruent and therefore C D ^ F E ^ .
    ::这意味着被这些角度拦截的弧是相同的,因此是CDFE。

    3. A is the center of the circle below. Find the shortest distance from A to E F ¯ .
    ::3. A是以下圆圈的中心,找到从A到EF的最短距离。

    Circle with center A, radii AC and AE of length 3, illustrating a 30-60-90 triangle.

    The shortest distance from A to E F ¯ will be the length of a segment from A to E F ¯ that is perpendicular to E F ¯ . Because A is the center of the circle, A C ¯ is a radius and thus the length of any radius will be 3 units. Draw two radii from A to E and A to F . Also draw a segment from A to E F ¯ that is perpendicular to E F ¯ .
    ::A 到 EF 之间的最短距离是 A 到 EF 之间的一个段段的长度。 因为 A 是圆的中心, AC 是半径, 因此任何半径的长度为 3 个单位。 从 A 到 E 和 A 到 F 绘制两个 。 另外, 从 A 到 EF 也绘制一个段 。

    A F E is an because it has three sides of length 3. This means that m A F D = 60 and A F D is a 30-60-90 triangle . According to the 30-60-90 pattern,
    ::“AFE”是因为它有三对三的长度3。这意味着“MAFD=60”和“AFD”是30-60-90三角形。根据30-60-90模式,

    A D = A F sin 60 = 3 3 2 .
    ::AD=AFsin60332。

    ::{\fn黑体\fs22\bord1\shad0\3aHBE\4aH00\fscx67\fscy66\2cHFFFFFF\3cH808080}

    Two possible conjectures are that A D ¯ bisects B C ¯ and A D ¯ is perpendicular to B C ¯ . Both of these conjectures can be proved by first proving that A B E A C E .
    ::两种可能的假设是,AD's两部分BC和AD's与BC有关。这两个假设可以通过首先证明`ABE'ACE来证明。

    To prove that A B E A C E , first note that A B ¯ and A C ¯ are both radii of the circle, and therefore A B ¯ A C ¯ . Also note that A E ¯ A E ¯ by the reflexive property. Since it was assumed that A D ¯ bisects B A C , B A E C A E . A B E A C E by S A S .
    ::证明ABEACE, 首先指出AB和AC都是圆的弧线, 因此AB AC。 也注意到AE AE是反向财产。 因为SAS假定AD是AD的两部分 ABAC, ABAECAE。 ABEACE ABEACE ABEACE ABEACE ABEACE是SAS的。

    Because A B E A C E , B E ¯ E C ¯ because they are corresponding parts. Therefore, A D ¯ bisects B C ¯ . Also because A B E A C E , C E A B E A because they are corresponding parts. C E A and B E A are supplementary because they form a line . Therefore, m C E A = m B E A = 90 and A D ¯ is perpendicular to B C ¯ .
    ::“ABEACE,BECE”是因为它们是相应的部分。因此,AD是BC的两部分。同样,因为ABEACE,CEABEA是相应的部分。“CEA”和“BEA”是补充性的,因为它们组成了一条线。因此,MCEA=mBEA=90,AD是BC的内在部分。

    This means that if a radius bisects a central angle, then it is the perpendicular bisector of the related chord.
    ::这意味着,如果半径将一个中心角度分为两部分,那么它就是相关和弦的直角两部分。

    ii) Find m D F ^ in the circle.
    :sad二) 在圆圈中查找 mDF。

    m E A F = 90 because E A F and C A B are and are therefore congruent. This means that
    ::mEAF=90,因为EAF和CAB是并因此是一致的。这意味着:

    m D A F = m E A F m E A D
    ::mDAF=mEAF-mEAD

    = 90 30 = 60 and therefore m D F ^ = 60 .
    ::90+30+60+因此MDF+60+。

    iii) Find m B A D in the circle.
    :sad三) 在圆圈中找到 mBAD。

    m B A F = 90 because it is supplementary with B A C . m B A D = m B A F + m D A F . Therefore, m B A D = 90 + 60 = 150 .
