PLEDGE 
India is my country. All Indians are my brothers and sisters. I love my country, and I am 
proud of its rich and varied heritage. I shall always strive to be worthy of it. I shall give 
respect to my parents, teachers and all elders and treat everyone with courtesy. I 
pledge my devotion to my country and my people. In their well-being and prosperity 
alone lies my happiness

Perimeter 
The perimeter is the sum of the length 
of all sides of a closed figure. 
What is the perimeter of a square of 
side 3cm? 
The perimeter is 3+3+3+3=12cm.
How do we find the perimeter of a circle of 
diameter 3cm? 
We cannot compute it as in the case of 
a square; 
We can place a string around it 
,straighten and measure.
perimeter and diameter 
When the diameter is increased,the 
perimeter also increases.
Circles and polygons
A new number 
 The perimeter of a circle is proportional 
to its diameter. 
 The perimeter of any circle divided by it 
diameter must give the same number. 
 Actually this number is irrational . In fact 
there is a special symbol in mathematics 
for this number . This number pi.

diameter of circle
Arcs 
An arc is a portion of circle. 
AB and PQ are parts of a circle. 
Usually ,we write AB or PQ to denote 
the line joining two points.
Arcs and angles 
In the figure below , ABP is an arc of the circle. 
Suppose the point P moves away from A,along 
the circle. 
A p A 
A
Then the length of the arc ABP also increases. 
A 
B 
 P
Central angle 
The angle made by joining the end 
points of an arc to the centre of the 
circle is called the central angle of the 
arc.
Length of an arc 
If the radius of a circle is denoted by r,its 
perimeter is 2 r.So the length of an arc of 
central angle 1 is 
1360 of perimeter=2 r*1360 
arc length=2360 of perimeter=2 r*2360 
For an arc of central angle 12, 
Arc length=12*1360 of perimeter=2 
r*12*1360. 
In general,for an arc of central angle x. 
2 r*x*1360=2 r*x360.
The length of an arc of a circle is that part of 
the perimeter of the circle,as the central 
angle is of 360.
Area
By joining the vertices of the polygon to the center 
of the circle , we can divide the polygon into 
triangle
‘
Sectors 
In the figure below,two points of a circle 
are joined to the centre. 
The figure obtained thus is called a 
sector of the circle. 
Thus a sector is formed by an arc of a 
circle and the radii through its end 
points.
LOOK AT THE PICTURE 
As the central angle increases, so does 
the area of the sector. We can show 
that the area of a sector of central 
angle x is x/360 of the area of the 
whole circle.
The area of a sector of a circle is 
that part of the area of the circle 
as the central angle is of 360 
degree.
Area of a sector 
In a circle of radius r, a sector of 
central angle x has Area, 
πr2 x x 
360
