Parts of a circle A straight line from one side of

the circle to the other that passes
through the centre is called the
diameter.

The area bounded by the

diameter and an arc is called the
semicircle.
Note: The semicircle is one-half
the area of the circle.

The area bounded by two radii of

a circle and the arc which they
cut off is called the sector.

The area bounded by a chord and

an arc is called the segment.

Parts of a circle The area bounded by two radii at
right angles to each other and the
arc which they cut off is called a
quadrant.
Note: The quadrant is quarter the
area of a circle.
