Angles in Circles
Angles within a circle are feasible to create with the help of different properties of the circle such as radii, tangents, and chords. The radius is the distance from the center of the circle to the circumference of the circle. A tangent is a line made p…
Arcs in Circles
A circular arc is the arc of a circle formed by two distinct points. It is a section or segment of the circumference of a circle. A straight line passing through the center connecting the two distinct ends of the arc is termed a semi-circular arc.

Chapter 6.4, Problem 40E

In ⊙ P , whose radius has length 8 i n . , m A B ⌢ = m B C ⌢ = 60 ° . Because m A C ⌢ = 120 ° chord A C ¯ is longer than either of the congruent chords A B ¯ and B C ¯ . Determine how much longer A C ¯ is than A B ¯ ; that is, find the exact value and the approximate value of A C − A B .
