This is a segment of a circle.The straight line is a chord.The curved line is an arc.
An arc (segment of a circle) has one straight side, and one curved side.
The same as a straight line.
Jimmel - A Polygon with four or more sides with one tagged side. The tag is on a line and not on an angle. Within the jimmel there is a line between two verticies and all of the sides are straight lines. Dibble - A polygon made up of straight lines where one side is a mirror image to the other. The two sides are separated by a arc-line-arc. If the polygon has equal sides but is not separated by a arc-line-arc then it is not a dibble. All of the sides in a dibble are straight lines. )---------------( = arc-line-arc I think that it is silly for teachers to encourage children to make up words in fifth grade. Especially when I am encouraging my son to look everything up. How foolish would he have felt if I sent him on a search for this definition? Anyway, on the topic of made up words... Frindle by Andrew Clements is a book that my son enjoyed.
Taking a straight line/ Place a POINT on that straight line. Sweep an arc from one side of the point to the other side of the point. That arc is 180 degrees.

Two: a straight line and a curved line.

An arc length is the measure of the distance along the curved line making up the arc. It is longer than the straight line distance between the two end points.
The definition of the word island arc is " a curved chain of volcanic islands located at a tectonic plate margin, typically with a deep ocean trench on the convex side."
With a central angle of 180° it is a straight line and so the arc is a semi-circle
It could be an arc (a curved portion of the circumference), a chord (the straight line distance between two points) , or a wedge (the plane area bounded by two radii and an arc).Remember the circle is a plane figure, not the curved line we draw. " A circle is bounded ... ."
Basically, a curved line.
A part of a curved line. Often part of the circumference of a circle, but not necessarily. An arc can refer to other curved line segments.
