The document contains information about geometric shapes such as circles, triangles, squares, rectangles, and parallelograms. It provides definitions and formulas for calculating properties of these shapes such as circumference, area, perimeter, and ratios of corresponding sides. It also includes examples of geometry problems and their step-by-step solutions.

(10) Circle : A circle is the locus of a point which moves in a plane in such a way that its distance from a fixed point
always remains same. The fixed point is called the centre and the constant distance is known as the radius of the
circle. If r = radius, then,
(i) Circumference = 2itr or nd where d = 2r is the diam-
distance between their centres is equal to difference/sum
of their radii respectively.
(viii) Distance moved by a rotating wheel in one
revolution is equal to the circumference of the wheel.
(ix) The number Of revolutions completed by rotating
a wheel in one minute
(x) Angle described by minute hand in 1 hour = 360°
(xi) Angle described by hour hand in 12 hours = 360°
Remarks : (i) If the dimensions of a plane are given in
different units, care must be taken to express them in the
same unit before finding the area.
(ii) It should be noted carefully that 3 square metres and
3 metres square are different things. Three square metres
denote,an area 3 times as large as a square metre, whereas
three metres square denotes the area of a square whose
side is 3 metres. Obviously, 3 metres square is equivalent
to 9 square metres.
