# Lesson 10

Angles, Arcs, and Radii

### Problem 1

Here are 2 circles. The smaller circle has radius $$r$$, circumference $$c$$, and diameter $$d$$. The larger circle has radius $$R$$, circumference $$C$$, and diameter $$D$$. The larger circle is a dilation of the smaller circle by a factor of $$k$$.

Using the circles, write 3 pairs of equivalent ratios. Find the value of each set of ratios you wrote.

### Problem 3

Circle B is a dilation of circle A.

1. What is the scale factor of dilation?
2. What is the length of the highlighted arc in circle A?
3. What is the length of the highlighted arc in circle B?
4. What is the ratio of the arc lengths?
5. How does the ratio of arc length compare to the scale factor?

### Problem 7

The towns of Washington, Franklin, and Springfield are connected by straight roads. The towns wish to build an airport to be shared by all of them.

1. Where should they build the airport if they want it to be the same distance from each town’s center? Describe how to find the precise location.
2. Where should they build the airport if they want it to be the same distance from each of the roads connecting the towns? Describe how to find the precise location.
