  1. Time Hands of a clock suggest an angle whose measure is continually changing. How many degrees does a minute hand move through during each time interval?
    1. 1 min
    2. 5 min
    3. 20 min

Algebra Find the value of each variable.

  1. A circle with center A has diameter with left side P. Radius AQ forms angle PAQ measuring c degrees, with angle (4c minus 10 degrees) from AQ to the right end of the diameter.
  2. A circle with center A has radii AP, AQ, and AR, with arc PQ (3x + 20) degrees, arc QR (2x + 60) degrees, and arc RP (x + 40) degrees.
  3. Landscape Design A landscape architect is constructing a curved path through a rectangular yard. The curved path consists of two 90 degrees  arcs. He plans to edge the two sides of the path with plastic edging. What is the total length of plastic edging he will need? Round your answer to the nearest meter.

    A rectangular yard has a curved path 2 meters wide from the top left corner to the bottom right corner, with center 4 meters from the top and bottom edges of the yard.

  4. Reasoning Suppose the radius of a circle is doubled. How does this affect the circumference of the circle? Explain.
  5. A 60 degrees  arc of circle dot eh  has the same length as a 45 degrees  arc of circle dot b .  What is the ratio of the radius of circle dot eh  to the radius of circle dot b question mark

Find the length of each arc shown in red. Leave your answer in terms of pi .

  1. A circle with radius 4.1 feet has two diameter lines, one horizontal and one rising left to right. The arc between the left sides of the diameters is 45 degrees. The arc from the left side of the horizontal to the right side of the diagonal is red.
  2. A circle with radius 4.1 feet has two diameter lines, one horizontal and one rising left to right. The arc between the left sides of the diameters is 45 degrees. The arc from the left side of the horizontal to the right side of the diagonal is red.
  3. A circle with vertical diameter and perpendicular radius measuring 6 meters has an arc between radius and diameter shaded red.
  4. Coordinate Geometry Find the length of a semicircle with endpoints (1, 3) and (4, 7). Round your answer to the nearest tenth.
  5. In circle dot o , the length of modified eh b with frown above  is 6 pi  cm and m , modified eh b with frown above  is 120. What is the diameter of circle dot o question mark

C Challenge

  1. The diagram below shows two concentric circles. eh r bar , approximately equal to . r w bar , .  Show that the length of modified s t with frown above  is equal to the length of modified q r with frown above , .

    Two concentric circles with center A has diameter UW of the outer circle intersecting the inner at R, with segments AR and RW congruent. Diameter VS of the outer intersects the inner at Q. Radius AT of the outer bisects angle UAS.

  2. Proof Given: circle dot p  with eh b bar , vertical line vertical line , p c bar

    Prove: m , modified b c with frown above . equals m . modified c d with frown above

    A circle with center P has horizontal diameter AD and radius PB above. Above AD, segment AB is parallel to segment PC, with C on arc BD.
