Circle

is a plane figure.

all points on a circle are the same
distance from the center.
has many parts, and they all have
different names.
How to draw circle?
 An instrument called a compass is used to draw
circles.
1. Fixa sharp pencil in the holding arm of a compass
tightly.
2. Make a point on the sheet of paper.
3. Openthe arms of the compass and place the needle
end at the compass
4. Move the pencil point around holding the compass at
the top.
The parts of a circle
Parts that are measurement
Radius- the distance from the center to
the circumference.
Diameter- the distance from one side
of a circle to the other through the
center.
Circumference- the distance all the
way around the circle.
Parts that are lines
 Tangent- a straight line that just touches the outside
of the circle
 Chord- a line segment drawn across the inside of the
circle whose endpoints lie on the circle.
 Arc- a part of the circumference of the circle.
 Semi-circle- a half of the circumference of the circle.
 Point of tangency- a point made by a tangent line and
a circle.
 Center-a point equal distance from all points on the
circumference.
CIRCUMFERENCE – all the way around
the circle.

In getting the circumference of the

circle,
the formula is C = 2 ∏ r or C = ∏ d
Find the circumference of the
following circles.
1.radius = 15 cm
2.diameter = 45.5 m
3.radius = 2.5 km
4.radius = 23.84 cm
5.diameter = 265 mm
