CIRCLE AND ITS

PARTS
WHAT IS A CIRCLE ??
 A circle is a
closed curve formed
by a set of points on
a plane that are
equidistant from its
center.
IS THE CENTER PART OF A CIRCLE ?
Read again the definition.
 PARTS OF A CIRCLE
•Radius •Secant Line
•Diameter •Central Angle
•Chord •Inscribed Angle
•Tangent Line
BACK
 The radius of the
circle is a straight line
drawn from the center
to the boundary line or
the circumference. The
plural of the word
radius is radii.
 The diameter is
the line crossing the
circle and passing
through the center. It
is the twice of the
length of the radius.
 The tangent line is any
segment, which if extended
in either direction, will only
intersect the circle once.

The point at which it

touches is called the point
of tangency.
SECANT LINE
 A secant line is a
segment or line which
passes through a circle,
intersecting at two
points
CHORD
 A chord is a line
segment with both
endpoints on the circle.
The diameter is a special
chord that passes
through the center of the
circle.
The diameter would
be the longest chord in
the circle.
CENTRAL ANGLE
 A central angle is
an angle in
a circle with vertex at
the center of the circle.
INSCRIBED ANGLE
 An inscribed angle is
an angle formed by three
points on a circle
