 CIRCLE

CIRCLE is the locus of a point which moves

in a plane so that its distance from a fixed
point remains constant.

Radius of a circle is a line joining centre of
the circle to any point on the circle.

B
Any Line that passes through the centre
and is terminated by the circle is called
DIAMETER of the circle.

 CENTRE OF THE CIRCLE

The fixed point inside the circle which

`is at equal distance from every point
on the circle is called CENTRE of the
circle.

 SECTOR OF THE CIRCLE
A

The part of circle bounded between

two radii of a circle is called the
SECTOR of the circle.

Example 1: Find the circumference of a

circle whose radius is 14 cm.
Solution:
Radius =14cm.
Circumference= 2πr = 2 x 22/7x14=88cms.

 EXERCISE 1
CHOOSE THE CORRECT ANSWER

If radius or circle is doubled its

circumference will
(a) Remain same.
(b)Become double
(c) Become half
(d) None of these

For correct answer click here.

Example 2:Find the distance covered by a
bicycle in 100 revolutions, if the radius of its
wheel is 70 cm.
Solution:
Given : Radius of the wheel=7 cm.
Distance covered in one revolution of the wheel
=circumference of the wheel =2πr
2x22/7x70=440cm.

Distance covered in 100 revolutions = 440 x 100

=44000cm
=440 meter

 EXERCISE 2
If radius of a circle is halved its area
will
(a)Become double of itself
(b)Become half of itself
(c)Become one fourth of itself.
(d)Become four times of itself.

EXAMPLE :3 A horse is tied to a rope
of 42 cm of length at the center of a
rectangular grassy plot . How much
area will it graze in one complete
round trip.

Solution:
Radius of circular path = 42 cm
Area grazed by the horse = πr2
=22/7x42x42= 6544 cm2
