Introductory Message
This Self-Learning Module (SLM) is prepared so that you, our dear learners,
can continue your studies and learn while at home. Activities, questions, directions,
exercises, and discussions are carefully stated for you to understand each lesson.

Each SLM is composed of different parts. Each part shall guide you step-by-
step as you discover and understand the lesson prepared for you.

Pre-tests are provided to measure your prior knowledge on lessons in each

SLM. This will tell you if you need to proceed on completing this module or if you
need to ask your facilitator or your teacher’s assistance for better understanding of
the lesson. At the end of each module, you need to answer the post-test to self-
check your learning. Answer keys are provided for each activity and test. We trust
that you will be honest in using these.

In addition to the material in the main text, Notes to the Teacher are also
provided to our facilitators and parents for strategies and reminders on how they can
best help you on your home-based learning.

Please use this module with care. Do not put unnecessary marks on any part
of this SLM. Use a separate sheet of paper in answering the exercises and tests. And
read the instructions carefully before performing each task.

If you have any questions in using this SLM or any difficulty in answering the
tasks in this module, do not hesitate to consult your teacher or facilitator.

Thank you.
 What I Need to Know

This module was designed and written with you in mind. It is here to help you
define, identify, name, and illustrate the parts of a circle and derive inductively the
relations among chords, arcs, central angles, and inscribed angles. The scope of this
module permits it to be used in many different learning situations. The language
used recognizes the diverse vocabulary level of students. The lessons are arranged
to follow the standard sequence of the course but the order in which you read and
answer this module is dependent on your ability.

Lesson
Chords, Arcs,
2 and Inscribed Angle

In Lesson 1, we talked about the relationships among chords, arcs, and central
angles. We learned that the measure of a central angle is equal to the measure
of its intercepted arc. Conversely, the degree measure of an arc is equal to the
measure of the central angle that intercepted it.
In Lesson 2, we will be dealing about the relationships among chords, arcs,
and inscribed angles. As you go through this lesson, be guided by the question
“How are the relationships among arcs and inscribed angles of a circle used in
finding solutions to real-life problems and in making decisions?” In order to
find the answers, perform the succeeding activities. You may refer to the
other modules studied earlier or to other references.

only if their corresponding chords are also congruent.

6. In a circle, a diameter bisects a chord and an arc sharing the same

endpoints if and only if the diameter is perpendicular to the chord.

It’s your turn.

Answer the following questions. You will be rated using the rubric in What I Can Do.

1. Five points on a circle separate the circle into five congruent arcs.

a. What is the degree measure of each arc?

b. If the radius of the circle is 3 𝑐𝑚, what is the length of each arc?
c. Suppose the points are connected consecutively with line segments. How
do you describe the figure formed?
2. Do you agree that if two lines intersect at the center of the circle, then the lines
intercept two pairs of congruent arcs? Explain your answer.

3. The length of an arc of a circle is 6.28 𝑐𝑚. If the circumference of the circle is

36.68 𝑐𝑚, what is the degree measure of the arc? Explain how you arrived at
your answer.
