CIRCLES AND ARCS
What is a Circle?
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 shape.

Center of a Circle
The center of a circle is the center point in a circle from which
all the distances to the points on the circle are equal. This
distance is called the radius of the circle.
Here, point P is the center of the circle.

Semicircle:
A semi-circle is half of a circle, formed by cutting a whole circle along a line segment
passing through the center of the circle. This line segment is called the diameter of
the circle.

Quarter Circle:
A quarter circle is a quarter of a circle, formed by splitting a circle into 4 equal parts
or a semicircle into 2 equal parts.
A quarter circle is also called a quadrant.

An arc is a small part of a circle. We use the term circumference when we refer to

the distance around a circle or around any other curved shape.

Compass
This drawing instrument is used when drawing arcs and

circles. It is used in a similar way to a divider. It is
composed of one with the pen leg and the needle point
leg being held together with a handle. This drawing
instrument can be used for both penciling and inking.
Divider
This is a drawing instrument used when transferring

measurements, dividing lines and arcs into the desired
number of equal parts. It can easily transfer accurate
measurements by adjusting the divider points. Constant
correct practice is necessary before doing an actual work
for a quick and easy control when use.

Constructing circles with a compass

Step 1: Place the pointed tip on the zero line of your ruler. Carefully widen the angle
between the arms. Move the pencil tip until it is exactly at 2 cm. Make sure that the
pointed tip is still on zero. Be careful not to change the gap once it is set to 2 cm.
Step 2: Gently push the pointed tip into point A. Push just deep enough into the
paper to keep it in place. This will be the centre of your circle.

Step 3: Hold the handle between the forefinger and thumb of your writing hand.
Keep your other hand out of the way. Use only one hand when you draw a circle with
a compass.
Step 4: Twist the handle between your thumb and forefinger. If you are right-handed
it is easiest to twist the compass clockwise. If you are left-handed, turn anticlockwise.
Let the pencil tip drag over the paper. Don't push down too hard on the pencil.
Rather, push down lightly on the pointed arm as you draw. The pencil tip must move
smoothly and easily.

5.4 CIRCLES ON CIRCLE ( CREATING 7 CIRCLES)
1. Set the radius to 5 cm. Draw a circle at the centre of your 5.4 vacant space.
Important: your radius must stay the same for the whole activity.
2. Put your compass point anywhere on the circle edge. Draw another circle.
This circle should pass through the centre of your first circle (they have the same
radius).
3. Your second circle cuts the first circle at two points. Choose one of these
points. Place your compass point at this point. Draw another circle of radius 5cm.
4. Repeat step 3 with your third circle, fourth circle etc. You should end up with
six circles on your first circle. That is, seven circles in total.
