Circle
Circle
 The set of all points on a plane that are a fixed
distance from a center.
 A circle is a simple shape of consisting of
those points in a plane that are equidistant from a
given point, the centre.

the centre and circumference
Radius
 The distance between any of the points and the
centre is called the radius.
 The Radius is the distance from the center to the
edge.
Diameter
 The diameter is a line segment that connects two
points on the circle and goes through the centre
of the circle. It is always twice as long as the
radius.
 The Diameter starts at one side of the circle,
goes through the center and ends on the other
side.
Circumference
 The Circumference is the distance around the
edge of the circle.
Radius, Diameter and Circumference
Chord, Arc, Centre and Diameter
Chord
 A chord is a line segment whose endpoints are at
any two points on the circle and it doesn’t pass
through the centre
Arc
 An arc of a Circle is a curved line drawn between
two points along the circumference of a Circle.
Segement
 A segment is a region bounded by a chord and an
arc lying between the chord’s endpoints.
Circumference
 A semicircle is an arc that is defined by diametric
points along the circle. This arc is as large as half
(semi) the circle.
 Half a circle is called a Semicircle.
 C=2*Π*r
Sector
 Sector, is the portion of a disk enclosed by
two radii and an arc, where the smaller area is
known as the minor sector and the larger being
the major sector.
Segment and Sector
 The "pizza" slice is called a Sector.
 And the slice made by a chord is called
a Segment.
Area of a Circle
 The area of a circle is π times the radius squared,
which is written:
 A = π × r2
