    The document introduces key facts about circles, including that a circle's diameter is 2r, circumference is 2πr, and area is πr^2. It also provides the general equations for a circle centered at the origin, x^2 + y^2 = r^2, and a circle with center (a,b), (x-a)^2 + (y-b)^2 = r^2. An example problem demonstrates using the latter equation to find the center (3,-2) and radius 7 for the circle (x-3)^2 + (y+2)^2 = 49.

    THE CIRCLE

    INTRODUCTION
    Here are a few quick facts that are useful to know about a circle that has radius r:

    diameter is 2r
    circumference is 2 r
    area is

    r2

    _______________________________________________________________________
    Example: If a circle has an area of

    16

    , what is its radius?

    Solution:
    A = r 2 but we have

    A = 16

    so r = 16
    r 2 = 16
    r=4

    THE EQUATION OF A CIRCLE


    A circle with radius r centred at the origin has the equation

    x2 + y 2 = r 2
    A circle whose centre is at the point (a, b) has the equation

    ( x a ) 2 + ( y b) 2 = r 2
    _______________________________________________________________________
    Example: Consider the circle given by the equation ( x
    What is the position of its centre? What is its radius?

    3) 2 + ( y + 2) 2 = 49

    Solution:
    The centre is at (3, -2).
    The radius is 7.
