Exercise 7 Page 719

We are given that a circular ride has a diameter of 44 feet and are asked to evaluate the radius r and the circumference of the ride. First let's recall that the radius is the half of the diameter. r=1/2* 44=22This means that the radius of the ride is 22 feet. Next let's recall the formula for the circumference of a circle. C=π d By substituting 44 for d in the above formula we can find the circumference of the ride. We will round the result to the nearest hundredth.

The circumference of the ride is approximately 138.23 feet.

Segments in Circles

Let's review what we know about different segments that intersect a circle. We will use the graph below as an example.

Now let's take a look at the different types of segments in circles and their definitions.

Pairs of Angles
Type	Definition	Example
Chord	A straight line that goes from one point to another point on the circle.	AC
Radius	Connects the center of the circle and any point on the circle.	DO
Diameter	Both endpoints of this segment lie on the circle and it passes through the center.	AB
