The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to identify the figure described in the question. Let's break down the solution step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Components**: - We have a circle, which is defined as a set of points equidistant from a central point (the center). - An **arc** is a portion of the circumference of the circle. It is defined by two endpoints on the circle. - **Radii** are the line segments that connect the center of the circle to any point on the circumference. 2. **Identifying the Figure**: - The question asks about the figure that is formed by an arc and two radii that connect the endpoints of that arc to the center of the circle. - Let's denote the center of the circle as point C, and the endpoints of the arc as points A and B. 3. **Drawing the Figure**: - Draw a circle and mark the center as point C. - Identify two points on the circumference of the circle, label them as A and B. - Draw the arc from point A to point B. - Now, draw two lines (radii) from point C to points A and B. 4. **Defining the Figure**: - The figure created by the arc AB and the two radii CA and CB is enclosed within the circle. - This enclosed area is defined as a **sector** of the circle. 5. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, the answer to the question is that the figure bounded by an arc and the two radii joining the endpoints of the arc with the center is called a **sector** of the circle. ### Final Answer: The figure bounded by an arc and the two radii joining the endpoints of the arc with the center is called a **sector** of the circle. ---
