1. Name 5 objects or cite 5

situations in real life where
chords, arcs and central angles of
a circle are illustrated. Formulate
problems out of these objects or
situations, then solve.
a. Suppose the pizza shown is divided into 4 equal
pieces. The diameter of the pizza is 5 inches. What is
the area of one piece of pizza?

A = n°/360 πr 2
A = 90/360 × 3.14 × 52
A = ¼ × 3.14 × 25
A = ¼ × 78.5
A = 19.6

The Area of one piece of pizza is approximately 19.6 inches

b.The shape of a table top is made up of a
semicircle and a quadrant. Find the distance
around the table top. Use 3.14 as an
approximation for π.
Length of semicircular arc
QO =½ × πd
≈ ½ × 3.14 × 60
= 94.2 in.

Length of arc PQ
World%20Problems%20Circles.pdf

PQ = ¼×2 ×3.14×60
Distance around the table top
=length of semicircular arc QO+ length of arc PQ +PO
=94.2 + 94.2 + 60
=248.4 in

The distance around the table top is

approximately 248.4 inches.
 c. Mikka divided the pancakes into 4 equal pieces.
The diameter of the pancake is 4 inches. If Mikka
eats one of the pieces of pancake. What is the area
of one piece of pancake?
A= n°/360 𝜋𝑟 2
A = 90/360 × 3.14 × 42
A = ¼ 3.14 × 16
A = 4 × 3.14
http://lakelurecottagekitchen.com/2013/10/05/boston-cream-
A = 12.6
pancakes/

There area one piece that Mikka’s ate is

approximately 12.6 inches.
d. Aaron wants to sew a decorative braid around
the mat. How many centimeters of braid does she
need?

Circumference of mat = πd
≈ 3.14 × 53
=166.42
e.The tire of a car has a radius of 10.5 inches. How
many revolutions does the tire need to make for the
car to travel 13,200 inches? Use 22/7 as an
approximation for π.
Circumference of tire
= 2πr
= 2 × 22/7 × 10.5
= 22/7 × 21
= 66 in.

The car travels approximately 66

inches with one revolution of the tire.
Number of revolutions = distance / circumference of tire
=13,200 / 66
= 200

The tire needs to make approximately 200 revolutions to

travel 13,200 inches.
2. Make a circle graph showing the different
school fees that students like you have to pay
voluntarily. Ask your school cashier how much
you would pay for the following school fees:
Parents-Teachers Association, miscellaneous,
school paper, Supreme Student Government, and
other fees. Explain how you applied your
knowledge of central angles and arcs of a circle
in preparing the graph.

 I used my knowledge regarding central angles and arcs of the
circle by remembering the meaning of each terms so that I would be able
to form a circle with correct parts. The circle graph above shows the
concept about central angles because the different school fees on the circle
graph represent an angle which is known as the central angle because it
forms an angle from the center of the circle as its vertex. With regards to
arcs, I also applied my knowledge about it because the central angles have
its corresponding intercepted arcs, so, basically, If I have central angles in
my circle graph, I also have arcs, which is called intercepted arcs. extra-
curricular activities in different subject area research fund membership
fees of different clubs photocopy of paper works school projects School
Fees.
3. Using the circle graph that you made in
number 2, formulate at least two problems
involving arcs, central angles, and sectors of a
circle, then solve.
 The different school fees of a typical and ordinary student like me
are represented in a circle graph above namely: “School Fees”. Let say that I
have Php 5000 budget for different school fees for the whole school year. I
spend, Php 2000 for extra-curricular activities in different subject area, Php
1500 for research fund, Php 500 for membership fees of different clubs,
Php 200 for photocopy of paper works, and Php 800 for school projects.

a. In the circle graph, what is the measure of the central angle corresponding to
each item?

By following the formula: (amount of money per school fees ÷ budget for the
whole school year-Php 5000) x 360
• Extra-curricular activities in different subject area (2000 ÷ 5000) x 360 =
144°
• Research fund (1500 ÷ 5000) x 360 = 108° Membership fees of different
clubs (500 ÷ 5000) x 360 = 36°
• Photocopy of paper works (200 ÷ 5000) x 360 = 14°
• School projects (800 ÷ 5000) x 360 = 58°
