Topics in Circle

1

Basic Definitions and Components

  • A circle is the locus of all points in a plane that are at a fixed distance from a fixed point
  • The fixed point is called the centre and the fixed distance is called the radius
  • Circumference is the perimeter of the circle
2

Special Types of Circles and Polygons

  • Concentric circles have the same centre but different radii
  • Equal or congruent circles have equal radii
  • A circumscribed circle passes through all vertices of a polygon
3

Arcs, Segments, and Sectors

  • An arc is a part of the circumference of a circle
  • Minor arc is smaller than semicircle, major arc is larger than semicircle
  • When both arcs are equal, each is called a semicircle
4

Chord Properties and Theorems

  • Theorem 22: A line from centre to bisect a chord (not diameter) is perpendicular to the chord
  • Theorem 23: A perpendicular from centre to a chord bisects the chord
  • Greater chord is closer to centre, smaller chord is farther from centre
