Circles
Definition of terms related to a circle1. Circle:
A circle is a set of all those points in plane that are at a given constant distancefrom a given fixed point in the plane.The fixed point is called the centre of the circle and the given constant distance ofevery point on the circle from the centre is called the radius of the circle.A circle with centre ‘
O
’ and radius
' '
r 
is denoted by C (
,
O r 
)
2. Position of a point with respect to a circle
Let C (
,
O r 
) be a given circle. A point P is said to be inside the circle if OP<
r 
, onthe circle if OP=
r 
and outside the circle if OP>
r 
.All the point lying inside a circle is called its interior points and all those pointsthat lie outside the circle are called its exterior points.The set of all interior points of a circle is called the interior of the circle while theset of all exterior points of a circle is called the exterior of the circle.
 
 3. Circular Disc:
The set of all points lying inside and on the circle is called a Circular Disc. It isalso know as the circular region.
4. Circumference of a circle:
The perimeter of a circle is called its circumference.
 
 5. Concentric Circles:
Circles having the same centre are called Concentric Circles.
6. Arc of a Circle:
A continuous part of the circumference of a circle is known as Arc of a circle.Let P and Q be any two points on a circle C (
,
O r 
). Then P and Q divide the circleinto two pieces, each of which is an arc, namely arc PAQ and arc PBQ. The lengthof an arc PQ can be imagined to be equal to the length of a fine thread which can just cover the arc completely and may be denoted by
l
(arc PQ). The arc PAQ willbe called a minor arc, if
l
(PAQ)<
l
(PBQ), and will be called a major arc if
l
(PAQ)>
l
(PBQ).
