Parts of a Circle
Aim: To understand and know
the vocabulary for parts of a
circle
Circumference
Diameter
The
circumference
of a circle is
the distance
around the
outside of a
circle
The diameter of the circle is the distance from
one side to the other passing through the centre
of the circle
Radius
Chord
A chord is a line touching the
circumference of the circle at two
points
The radius is the line connecting the centre
of the circle and the circumference
Sector
Arc
A sector is
the part of
a circle
between
two radii
and an arc
An arc is the part of the circumference at
the edge of a sector
Segment
Tangent
A segment is the part of a circle between a
chord and an arc
A tangent
is a
straight
line which
touches a
circle at
one point
only
Radius Diameter Sector Segment
Tangent Arc Circumference Chord
Copy the two diagrams carefully into your book
Label your two diagrams using the words below
Diameter
Circumference
The distance
around the
outside of a circle
The distance from one
side to the other passing
through the centre of the
circle
Chord
Radius
Sector
Arc
Part of the
circumference at the
edge of a sector
Segment
Tangent
The part of a
circle between
two radii and an
arc
A straight line which
touches a circle at
one point only
The part of a circle
between a chord and an
arc
The line connecting the
centre of the circle and
the circumference
A line touching the
circumference of the
circle at two points
Match up the word with the correct definition.
Extension Problems
Draw a circle with radius 4cm.
 What is the length of the diameter of the circle?
 How many sectors of 90° will fit inside the circle?
 Draw five radii inside your circle that are equally spaced out
around the circumference. Join up the ends of the radii to create
a shape inside your circle.
 What is the name of the shape that you have created inside your
circle?
 How long are the chords that are joining the radii together?
 How big is the angle of each sector?
 If you did the same as above with sectors of 45°, what shape
would you create inside your circle?
