What name is given to a figure whose distance from a fixed point to any point on the curve is always constant?

CIRCLE 

100

What name is given to a curved line that is a part of the circle?

Arc

100

TRUE or FALSE

The circumference of a circle is the amount of space it occupies

FALSE

100

Describe the difference between finding the area of a sector versus area of a segment.

Sector is a percent of entire circle, Segment is treated like a shaded area problem

What is Finley's favorite genre of music?

80's hair metal

200

True or false. The formula for arc length is radius * central angle in degrees.

False

200

A line drawn whose endpoints are on the circle and it doesn't go through the center.

CHORD

200

The circumference of a circle is 70m. Find the length of the arc whose central angle is 36 degrees. (units)

7m 

200

Find the area of a sector with a sector angle of 90 degrees and a radius 7m. (units)

38.5m2

What is Finley's favorite Schwarzenegger movie?

Predator

300

A line that touches the circumference of the circle only once.

TANGENT

300

The part of the circle enclosed by a chord and an arc

SEGMENT

300

True or false. Pi is the answer when you take Circumference divided by diameter.

True

300

The circumference of the circle is 20pi cm. What is the area of the sector made with a 72 degree angle? (exact, units)

2pi cm2

What color of pants does Finley usually wear on Fridays?

Orange

400

The part of a circle enclosed by 2 radii and an arc

SECTOR

400

An angle on the circumference that subtends the same arc as a central angle.

Inscribed Angle

400

If the arc length is 5pi meters and the radius is 7 meters, what is the central angle in degrees? (exact answer only)

900/7 degrees

A ceiling fan has 3 blades. The entire area of all 3 blades is 3.5pi ftand the diameter of the fan is 4 feet. Name 3 central angles for the fan's blades that would work mathematically in this scenario. (many possible answers, degrees)

Need 3 angles to add to 315 degrees.

Find the length of an arc created from an angle of 65 degrees. The entire area of the circle is 30pi squared meters. (Exact, units)

13 * sqrt(30) * pi / 36 meters

500

Find the area of the segment made with an 135 degree central angle if the entire circumference is 17pi m. (exact, units)
