2. CIRCLE
A circle is a plain figure enclosed by a
curved line, every point on which is
equidistant from a point within, called the
centre.

(mathematician)
• William Jones, FRS (1675 – 3 July 1749) was a
Welsh mathematician, most noted for his use of the
symbol π (the Greek letter Pi) to represent the ratio
of the circumference of a circle to its diameter.
INVENTED
4. “
The greeks considered the Egyptians as the inventors of
geometry. The scribe Ahmes, the author of the Rhind
papyrus, gives a rule for determining the area of
a circle which corresponds to π = 256 /81 or
approximately 3. 16. The first theorems relating
to circles are attributed to Thales around 650 BC.
HISTORY OF CIRCLE

5. DEFINITION
Circumference -
The circumference
of a circle is the
perimeter
⋄ .
Diameter - The
diameter of a circle
is longest distance
across a circle
Radius - The
radius of a circle is
the distance from
the center of the
circle to the outside
edge.

14. SEGMENT
The segment of a circle is the
region bounded by a chord
and the arc subtended by the
chord.
Chord of a circle is a line
segment whose ends lie on
the circle.

16. Theorem 1:
Prove that the tangent at any point of a circle is perpendicular to the radius
through the point of contact
Given: XY is a tangent at point P to the circle
with centre O.
To prove: OP ⊥ XY
Construction: Take a point Q on XY other than
P and join OQ
O
P Q Y
X
16
17. Proof: If point Q lies inside the circle, then XY will become a secant
and not a tangent to the circle
OQ > OP
This happens with every point on the line XY except the point P. OP
is the shortest of all the distances of the point O to the points of XY
OP ⊥ XY …[Shortest side is the perpendicular]
17
18. Theorem 2:
A line drawn through the end point of a radius and perpendicular to it, is the
tangent to the circle.
Given: A circle C(O, r) and a line APB is perpendicular to OP,
where OP is the radius.
To prove: AB is tangent at P.
Construction: Take a point Q on the line AB, different from P and
join OQ.
18
19. Proof: Since OP ⊥ AB
OP < OQ ⇒ OQ > OP
The point Q lies outside the circle.
Therefore, every point on AB, other than P, lies outside the circle.
This shows that AB meets the circle at point P.
Hence, AP is a tangent to the circle at P.

20. Some examples of circles in real life are camera
lenses, pizzas, tires, Ferris wheels, rings,
steering wheels, cakes, pies, buttons and a
satellite's orbit around the Earth. Circles are
simply closed curves equidistant from a fixed
center. Circles are special ellipses that have a
single constant radius around a center.
