10-2 Measuring Angles and Arcs
You measured angles and identified congruent angles.
• Identify central angles, major arcs, minor arcs, and semicircles, and find their measures.
• Find arc lengths.
Central anglesCentral angles are
angles whose vertices are at the center of the circle.

Arcs—parts of a circle
There are three kinds of arcs made by central angles:
Major arcs: greater than 180°
Named with 3 letters
Minor arcs: less than 180°
Named with 2 letters
Semi-circles: exactly 180°
Named with 3 letters
