Circles

• A circle is a round-shaped figure that has no corners or edges. In

geometry. a circle can be defined as a closed, two-dimensional curved Inscribed angle
shape.
• A circle is the set of all points in a plane with the same distance from
a certain point. This point is called the center of the circle.
• A circle is a basic 2D shape that is measured in terms of its radius.
The different parts of a circle are explained below in detail.
A is the center and the name of the
circle is circle A.

G
Central angle is an angle formed by two radii. In
circle A, <BAD, <BAH and <HAF are central
angles.
H The circumference is the distance once around
the circle.

Radius is a line segment from the center of the

circle to any point on the circle. The radius of a
circle is one-half the diameter. In circle A,
segments AB. AF. AD and AH are radii.
