What the test measures

Circles skills

  1. Understand and apply theorems about circles

  2. Find arc lengths and areas of sectors of circles

  3. Translate between the geometric description and the equation for a circle

Standards basis

Arkansas Academic Standards for Mathematics (CCSS-M–aligned / Arkansas-adopted math standards) — Arkansas

How the ATLAS reports it

Arkansas’s statewide assessment system is ATLAS, which the ADE page says began serving in spring 2024. The official public page does not publish a math blueprint there, so the most defensible coverage map is the Arkansas math standards structure that ATLAS is aligned to.

Blueprint & weighting

ATLAS uses the Independent / state-specific framework (by grade domains structure).

Practice playeasy

A circle in the coordinate plane has a diameter with endpoints (6,5)(-6, -5) and (6,9).(-6, 9)\textsf{.} What is the radius of the circle?

The endpoints share the same xx-coordinate, so the diameter is vertical with length 9(5)=14.|9 - (-5)| = 14\textsf{.} The radius is half the diameter, so r=142=7.r = \dfrac{14}{2} = 7\textsf{.}

The equation x2+(y6)2=64x^2 + (y - 6)^2 = 64 represents Circle A. Circle B is obtained by shifting Circle A down 66 units in the coordinate plane. Which of the following equations represents Circle B?

Circle A has center (0,6)(0, 6) and radius 88. Shifting down 66 moves the center to the origin, so Circle B is x2+y2=64x^2 + y^2 = 64.

A circle in the coordinate plane is centered at the origin and passes through the point (6,8).(6, 8)\textsf{.} Which equation represents the circle?

The radius is the distance from (0,0)(0, 0) to (6,8):(6, 8)\textsf{:} 62+82=100=10\sqrt{6^2 + 8^2} = \sqrt{100} = 10 units. Standard form is (xh)2+(yk)2=r2,(x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2\textsf{,} so x2+y2=102=100.x^2 + y^2 = 10^2 = 100\textsf{.}

A rhombus has diagonals of length 1010 and 1212. What is its area?

Area =12×10×12=60= \dfrac{1}{2} \times 10 \times 12 = 60.

Practice playeasy

Find the arc length of a 90°90° arc on a circle with radius 44. Use π=3\pi = 3.

L=90360×2πr=14×2×3×4=6L = \dfrac{90}{360} \times 2 \pi r = \dfrac{1}{4} \times 2 \times 3 \times 4 = 6.

Practice playeasy

A circle in the coordinate plane has a diameter with endpoints (2,4)(2, -4) and (18,4).(18, -4)\textsf{.} What is the radius of the circle?

The endpoints share the same yy-coordinate, so the diameter is horizontal with length 182=16.|18 - 2| = 16\textsf{.} The radius is half the diameter, so r=162=8.r = \dfrac{16}{2} = 8\textsf{.}

Practice playeasy

The equation (x6)2+y2=81(x - 6)^2 + y^2 = 81 represents Circle A. Circle B is obtained by shifting Circle A left 66 units in the coordinate plane. Which of the following equations represents Circle B?

Circle A has center (6,0)(6, 0) and radius 99. Shifting left 66 moves the center to the origin, so Circle B is x2+y2=81x^2 + y^2 = 81.

Practice playeasy

A circle in the coordinate plane has equation (x3)2+(y+1)2=16.(x - 3)^{2} + (y + 1)^{2} = 16\textsf{.} What is the measure of the radius of the circle?

The right side is r2=16,r^{2} = 16\textsf{,} so the radius measures 44 units.
