10.3

Hello, friends!
We've gone through the entire class for blogs, so logically it must be my duty to once again do the first blog post.

Today we learned a couple of things.
1) there are 3 types of arcs


     a) semicircles- 180 degree arcs (requires 3 points to name and identify)

     b) major arcs- greater than 180 degrees (requires 3 points to name and identify)
     c) minor arcs- less than 180 degrees (requires 2 points to name and identify)


2) Congruent arcs on different circles implies that the circles are congruent.
     a) to be congruent, both the angle measure and the length must be the same.

3) Congruent chords implies congruent arcs which implies congruent central angles which implies congruent chords. Basically, if you have a congruent Chord, you can prove the other two (central angles and arcs) congruent. If you have one you can prove the other two. They're biconditional.

Alright, gang. I'm off  for Orlando. Be good for Mr. Wilhelm and do 10 nice things a day for the next couple days till break. It'll make you feel good.
Shane McPartlin.
P.S.

                     March 6th.                                                                Get pumped.
