Arcs and Central Angles
An arc is an unbroken part of a circle. Two points y and z on a circle O are always the endpoints of two arcs. Y and Z and the points of circle O in the interior Of <YOZ form a minor arc.

Arcs and Central Angles
If Y and Z are the endpoints of a diameter, then the two arcs are called semicircles. You use 3 points to specify a semicircle or major arc.

Adjacent arcs of a circle are arcs that that have exactly one point in common. The following postulate can be used to find the measure of an arc formed by two adjacent arcs.
Postulate 16The measure of the arc formed by two
adjacent arcs is the sum of the measure of its arcs.

Congruent arcs are arcs, in the same circle or congruent circles that have equal measures.

Arcs and Central AnglesTheorem 9-3
In the same circle or in congruent circles, two minor arcs are congruent if and only if their central angles are congruent

P = Q, therefore 2 minor arcs are congruent
P = Q,Therefore 2 minor arcs are not congruent
