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.

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.

related to it.

What’s In

Solve the following:

a polygon have?
2. Given the figure below, what is the measure of each exterior angle?

What’s New

Last October 2020, the Philippines experienced the world’s strongest typhoon
Typhoon Rolly (internationally known as GONI) which devastated the regions of Bicol and
Central Luzon. Rolly's wide diameter — estimated at 500 kilometers — means areas not
directly hit by the typhoon's eye can also experience similar conditions because of
its wide reach. Because of the extensive damage brought by the typhoon in the Philippines,
the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration
(PAGASA) announced that the name Rolly will be delisted from the list of typhoon names and
will no longer be used in the future. A replacement name will be chosen in 2021.

 Circles are present in real life, both in the natural world and in manmade creations.
Manicouagan Reservoir in Canada is a ring-shaped lake that formed in the remains of a crater.
Mushrooms with domed caps have circular bases. Ferris wheels take the circle to vertical
heights at amusement parks and carnivals. Many household items, including cups, candles,
and doorknobs have circles in their designs and even in weather forecasting.

A circle is the set of all points in the plane that are the same distance away from a
specific point, called the center. The center of the circle below is point A. We call this circle
“circle A” or in symbol, ʘA, and it is labeled circle with center A.

TERMS RELATED TO CIRCLE

There are terms related to circles. These are as follows:

Radius is a line segment connecting the center of the circle and a point on the circle. It is
named using the letter of the center and the point on the circle.

The ʘA has a radius of ̅̅̅̅

AB.

Chord is a line segment whose endpoints are both on a circle. It is named using the endpoints
on the circle.

In ʘA, the chord is ̅̅̅̅

BC.

B C
chord

•
A

Diameter is a chord that passes through the center of the circle. The length of a diameter is
two times the length of a radius.
In circle A, the diameter is ̅̅̅̅
DE.

•

Circumference is the distance around the circle and can be obtained using the formula:

C = 2𝜋r; where r is the radius of the circle

or C = 𝜋D, where D is the diameter of the circle

A •

Illustrative Example:
What is the circumference of a circle whose radius measures 7 cm (use π = 3.14)?
Solution:
What are the given? r = 7cm, 𝛑 = 𝟑. 𝟏𝟒
What is asked? What is the measure of the circumference?
What operation to be used? Multiplication

Using the formula of the circumference

C = 2𝜋r
= 2(3.14) (7cm)
= 6.28(7cm)
= 43.96 cm

Secant Line is a line that intersects a circle in two points.

In ʘA, the secant is ⃡FG.

F A

•
G

Tangent Line is a line that intersect a circle at exactly one point.

⃡ is the tangent of ʘA and the point of tangency is point J.

Arc is any part of the circumference of a circle. There are three types of arcs namely:
1. Minor arc
2. Semi-circle
3. Major arc.
Minor Arc is an arc whose measures is greater than zero but less than 180o
(0o < 𝜃 < 180o). It is named using two capital letters.
⏜ is a minor arc.
In circle A, Arc BC or BC

Semi-circle is an arc whose measure is exactly 180o or one-half of the circle. Semi-

 What I Have Learned

Determination is the essence of increasing your chances of being successful in a thing

or achieving a goal, and it can also help you to stay motivated and continue striving towards
the one thing you want to achieve. In Mathematics, determination is important to increase
chances of successfully understanding and using it in solving real life problems.

RIDDLE:
“The earth’s circumference is around 40,075 kilometers which was measured
through its great circles. Great circles are also useful in planning routes when
travelling. I am one of these great circles that also divides the earth into two
halves, the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. I am an imaginary line around
the middle of the earth. Who am I?”

To answer the riddle, match each term in column Determination with its definition in
column Success. Then, write the letter of the correct answer on the line above the number.
